When winter rolls in, mint might not be the first ingredient you think of, but this refreshing herb has hidden powers that go far beyond flavor. Known for its cooling properties, mint helps calm digestion, freshen breath, and may even boost alertness and energy levels.

Agave may be known for its sweetness, but there’s much more behind this golden nectar than meets the spoon. Unlike refined sugar, agave syrup has a lower glycemic index, meaning it won’t spike your blood sugar as quickly.

It’s also a natural source of inulin, a prebiotic fiber that supports gut health and digestion. Agave can be a smart alternative sweetener when enjoyed in moderation, especially when paired with nutrient-dense foods. Read more about agave's benefits here.

We swirl nutmeg into our Pumpkin Chai Smoothie which is a creamy blend of pumpkin, vanilla protein, cinnamon, nutmeg, black pepper, and almond milk, topped with chai cold foam. It’s a hug in a cup.

We’ve all heard the saying “an apple a day keeps the doctor away” but is there actually any truth to it? Turns out, science gives apples a pretty glowing report card. From heart health to gut balance, this humble fruit packs way more power than meets the eye.

Apples & Your Heart ❤️

In one study, people who ate two apples a day for eight weeks lowered their “bad” cholesterol (LDL), reduced triglycerides, and even improved blood vessel function compared to a sugary control drink. That’s a pretty impressive resume for such a simple snack.

A Sweet Treat That Supports Blood Sugar 🍏

When it comes to type 2 diabetes, apples shine again. Large studies following more than 187,000 people found that those who ate apples and pears regularly had a 7% lower risk of developing diabetes. Fruit juice, on the other hand, was linked with a higher risk, so whole fruit really is the way to go.

Feeling Fuller, Longer 😋

Not all apple products are created equal. In a feeding study, people who munched on a whole apple before lunch felt more satisfied and ate about 15% fewer calories compared to those who had applesauce, juice, or nothing at all. The fiber and crunch really make a difference.
