Benefits of some of these ingredients 

Avocados offer numerous health benefits due to their nutrient-rich composition, including heart-healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals. These benefits include supporting heart health, aiding digestion, protecting eye health, and promoting weight management. Let’s talk about heart health. Avocados are rich in monounsaturated fats, which help lower LDL ("bad") cholesterol and raise HDL ("good") cholesterol. They also contain beta-sitosterol, a plant-based cholesterol-lowering compound. 

 Next, I like using Agave.

Agave nectar, a natural sweetener derived from the agave plant, offers several potential health benefits. It's known for its lower glycemic index compared to table sugar, potentially helping with blood sugar management. It also contains insulin; a prebiotic fiber hat can support gut health. Additionally, agave contains trace amounts of vitamins C, B, and minerals like potassium, calcium, and selenium. 

Cocoa powder offers various health benefits, including improved brain function, cardiovascular health, and potentially contributing to weight management. It's also a good source of antioxidants and minerals like iron, zinc, and selenium, which support overall body function and immune system strength.
