Benefits of the Ingredients

Lean Ground Beef
Lean beef is an excellent source of high-quality protein, supporting muscle maintenance, repair, and overall strength. It’s also rich in iron, zinc, and B vitamins, which are essential for energy production, immune function, and cognitive health.

Sweet Potatoes
Sweet potatoes provide slow-releasing carbohydrates that help sustain energy levels and keep you feeling full. They are rich in fiber, vitamin A, and antioxidants that support digestion, gut health, and immune function.

Avocado
Avocado adds healthy monounsaturated fats that support heart health and hormone balance. It also helps improve nutrient absorption and contributes to long-lasting satiety.

Low-Fat Cottage Cheese
Cottage cheese is a protein powerhouse, especially rich in casein protein, which digests slowly and helps keep you full for longer. It also provides calcium for bone health and supports muscle recovery.

Tomato Paste
Tomato paste is concentrated in antioxidants like lycopene, which supports heart health and reduces oxidative stress, while also adding depth and umami flavour.

Taco Seasoning
Spices in taco seasoning enhance flavour without extra calories and often contain anti-inflammatory compounds that support metabolism and digestion.

Honey
Honey adds a touch of natural sweetness that balances savoury and spicy elements while providing quick energy and antioxidants.

Chili Flakes
Chili flakes may support metabolism and circulation while adding gentle heat that enhances flavour and satisfaction.

Ground Cinnamon
