If you happen to eat cereal with milk or yogurt for breakfast and already on your way to work find that you are craving, for example, a yeasty treat, and during the day you can't wait until your next meal without reaching for an overindulgent snack - Lizi's is just for you!
Lizi's oat granola is a fantastic blend of wholesome ingredients - coconut, apple pieces, passion fruit puree, almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts, cashew nuts, pumpkin and sunflower seeds and flaxseed. All of these ingredients are brought together by the aroat of cinnamon and rosemary. The addition of oligofructose - a natural fiber extracted from chicory and a prebiotic - helps protect the health of the digestive tract.
Compared to other nut granolas on the market*, Lizi's Original granola has 20% less carbohydrates, almost twice as much sugar, 50% more fiber and 7 (!) times less sodium!
Lizi's oat granola with pistachios and passion fruit is roasted whole-grain oatmeal with an ultra-low glycemic load of GL 7 per serving - so unlike regular breakfast cereals, after eating a serving of Lizi's for breakfast, the feeling of satiety will last you until lunch and you certainly won't be attacked by cravings for something sweet!
Glycemic index and glycemic load - the difference in practice
The glycemic index (GI) describes the properties (rate of absorption) of the carbohydrates in the foods we eat, but does not take into account the amount of carbohydrates consumed in a given meal.
In order to determine what effect eating a particular amount of carbohydrates actually has on blood sugar levels, we need to use the second parameter, the glycemic load. GL (glycemic load) expresses the number of insulin released into the blood after eating a given meal. The glycemic loads of the components of a given meal, as well as of all meals during the day, can be added up. It has been proven that meals with a GL of less than 20g (thus increasing insulin levels by the same amount as 20g of pure glucose) have little effect on blood sugar spikes. It is optimal to eat three meals a day with a GL of no more than 20 and two snacks with a GL of no more than 10.
Taking into account the GL, you don't have to completely give up carbohydrates, but it's much easier to choose the 'good' ones, which give the feeling of satiety for a longer time - exactly such carbohydrates are found in Lizi's granolas with a glycemic load of 6 .6 - even several times lower than regular breakfast cereals overloaded with simple carbohydrates of the same weight.
Forget about snacking and include Lizi's granola in your breakfasts! Delicious wholesome roasted oatmeal will not only delight you with its taste, but also guarantee you a feeling of satiety for hours.
