The Benefits of MCT Oil Powder in This Recipe
- A Healthy Boost: MCT oil powder provides medium-chain triglycerides, which offer quick energy without causing a sugar crash. Adding it to the mousse means you get a satisfying dessert that won’t leave you sluggish.
- Supports Mental Clarity: The brain thrives on MCTs, as they are rapidly absorbed and converted into ketones, supplying the brain with steady energy. Perfect for maintaining focus and supporting brain function, especially when you need a cognitive lift.
- Gut Health Support: MCTs have shown benefits for gut microbiome health, contributing to a balanced digestive system and supporting the gut barrier for overall wellness.
