By Flat Tummies, a healthy living concept that promises sweet treats and delicacies that satiate your taste buds without letting you worry about calories, fattening ingredients and sugar control
A moment on the lips, forever on the hips - This quote best encapsulates the guilt that haunts you at the back of your mind as you take a bite of that decadent dessert that sits pretty on a plate. Desserts are a guilty pleasures for most of us and the price we pay for letting them seduce us, is piling on the kilos. However, a new healthy living concept called Flat Tummies aims to change that. Staying true to its name Flat Tummies started by Monica Muthappa a former scientist lets you have your cake and eat it too minus the guilt. Read on to find out more.
How can dessert give you a flat tummy?
Monica's Flat Tummies which officially kicked off early February this year offers healthy snacks and desserts to consumers who them but are looking at healthier options. She says, "From the age of 10, I developed a keen interest towards cooking. While other kids on the block were on the playground, I spent my time learning to cook and trying new recipes. Over the years, I graduated to become a research scientist at a Biotech firm. This combination of my bonding with food and research skills helped develop a range of frozen desserts and snacks. Soon my husband's intolerance towards gluten and health needs helped focus my attention towards healthy alternatives to "junk". I realised there are millions of people who have similar needs for nutrition and health but are deprived as they are not readily available in the market. This was the real motivation to make snacks very tasty but equally nutritious and low calorie." Flat Tummies dishes out snacks and sweet treats that are gluten free, dairy free, chemical free, loaded with nutritious ingredients and free from refined sugar. Monica adds, "Our packaging too is eco-friendly and we use only paper-based packing."
So what makes it so healthy?
The use of only natural ingredients - whole foods (with high nutrition), dark cocoa (good antioxidant), natural fruit extracts that replace refined sugar, no refined sugar and no dairy - it all contributes to create a range of products that are
devoid from empty calories and instead satiates you with rich nutrition. There is also a nutritionist on board who helps Monica and her husband work out the recipes keeping in mind nutritional values of ingredients and the calorie count. What you get? Well from vegan ice creams in different flavours, protein bars, flaxseed jam cookies, choco peanut spread, chocolate mousse, etc are just some of the yummy treats you can take a pick from. Monica says, "We don't ask you to choose between good taste and good health – we endeavour to give you both"
