Here are some health benefits of these awesome toppings! : )

Figs are high in natural sugars, minerals and soluble fiber. They are rich in minerals including potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron and copper and are a good source of antioxidant vitamins A, E and K that contribute to health and wellness!
Jackfruit serves as an excellent protective agent against viral and bacterial infections due to the presence of Vitamin C in it. In addition, this fruit is known to strengthen the immune system by improving the condition of white blood cells. Enriched with phytonutrients, like lignans, isoflavones and saponins that contain anti-cancer and anti-aging properties, jackfruits are beneficial in eliminating cancer-causing free radicals in the body and inhibiting the degeneration of cells! Magnesium, found in large amounts in jackfruit, absorb calcium in the body and contribute to strengthening of bones and prevention of bone related disorders like osteoporosis. The potassium content in jackfruit is useful in lowering blood pressure thus, reducing the risk of heart attack and stroke... and the list goes on!
Happy Monday and Happy Smoothie making! : )
