This blog introduces some easy and healthy high-protein dessert recipes for the holidays! 

Dietary Fiber: Dietary fiber consists of non-digestible carbohydrates from various plants, grains, legumes, etc. They are generally called “nature’s broom” as they sweep out our digestive tract and maintain gut motility. Dietary fiber is also essential for insulin sensitivity and metabolic health. Consecutively, it also targets weight balance since dietary fiber causes a feeling of fullness, restricting overconsumption of food. It also feeds our little army of gut bacteria flora, maintaining gut health. An impressive list of benefits, correct? Imagine just incorporating a small amount of fiber into your diet and being gifted with all these benefits! Yes, you are thinking about high-protein dessert ideas. We have a combination of Daily Fiber just right for you.

Protein powders: Protein powders are on a super hype right now. The entire food section on the internet is filled with “protein-rich foods,” “protein desserts,” “protein salads,” and whatnot. And the hype is justified. Protein helps reduce excess body fat, a common headache for everyone nowadays. It plays a significant role in cardiovascular and metabolic risk diseases, lowering harmful cholesterol levels. A considerable amount of research shows the benefits of consuming protein for diabetes and cancer. Protein-rich diet provides a lean and healthy body mass over consistent consumption. There are many other benefits of a high-protein diet for our body.
