The Blueberry Meal is packed with nutrients!

Antioxidants—They are among the fruits with the highest antioxidant capacity, primarily due to the presence of anthocyanins, compounds that give them their blue color and have been linked to reduced oxidative stress. They also contain manganese., a coenzyme of Mn-SOD, which is a central element of the mitochondrial enzymatic antioxidative defense system. Antioxidants help neutralize the free radicals produced during intense physical activity. This can reduce muscle damage and inflammation, potentially leading to faster recovery times.
The anti-inflammatory effects of açaí can help reduce the soreness and swelling that often occur post-exercise, thus aiding in quicker recovery and improved joint health.
Skin Protection- Athletes often spend a lot of time outdoors, and the antioxidants in açaí and blueberries may help protect the skin from oxidative stress caused by sun exposure.
Bone Health: Cashews are a good source of copper, which plays a role in maintaining collagen and elastin, major structural components of our bodies found in bones and connective tissues. This can help maintain strong bones and joints, reducing the risk of injuries.
Sustained Energy: Oats are a great source of complex carbohydrates, which break down slowly in the body, providing a steady release of energy. This makes them ideal for pre-workout meals to ensure sustained energy levels during long training sessions or competitions.
Rich in Nutrients: Oats are packed with important vitamins and minerals, such as B-vitamins, iron, and magnesium. B-vitamins are crucial for energy production; iron helps form hemoglobin, which carries oxygen to muscles; and magnesium aids in muscle function and recovery.
Stabilized Blood Sugar Levels: The beta-glucan in oats also helps to slow down the digestion of carbohydrates, resulting in a slower increase in blood sugar levels. This is beneficial for athletes as it prevents spikes and crashes in energy, maintaining stable performance levels. Sugars from maple syrup provide immediate access to carbohydrates without overwhelming digestive and metabolic systems.
