Soluble fibre: Oats contain beta-glucan, while psyllium husk provides gel-forming soluble fibre that can support bowel regularity.
Magnesium: Almond flour contributes magnesium, an essential mineral involved in normal muscle and nerve function.
Healthy fats: Almonds provide predominantly unsaturated fats.
Calcium: Milk and amasi contribute calcium, important for normal bone health.
Fermented dairy: Amasi adds a pleasantly tangy flavour. Live-culture content varies by product.
