Being a sweet tooth person, I enjoy eating desserts more than main foods all the time. That is why without much thinking, I decided to make a sweet yet healthy dessert when I received invitation to take part in the California Raisins “Sweet Naturally” campaign.
The campaign features few scrumptious #SweetNaturally California Raisin recipes made by the Malaysian content creators, such as California Raisins & Walnut Cake, Swirled Choco Berry Pavlova with California Raisins, California Raisin Marble Cake, Apple California Raisin Coleslaw, California Raisin Cinnamon Ginger Pancakes, Very Vegan California Raisin Spring Roll, California Raisin Apple Fritter Pie, Incredible Fluffy California Raisin Scone, California Raisin Tang Yuen, and Chicken Poket with California Raisin Marinate. You can check out their recipes here and give it a try at own kitchen.
Raisins, high level of polyphenol antioxidants containing about 3,037 ORAC units (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity – a method in measuring antioxidants in food) in about 2/3 cup. This essential substance are vital for protection against oxidative stress which is related to aging and disease.
I enjoy having California Raisins as a healthy snack food compared with others because they are naturally sweet and do not contain any added sugar. It contains natural fruit sugar – 35% fructose and 35% glucose, which is a good source of energy and has no fat and no cholesterol.
California Raisins are the best raisins in the world due to their superior quality and high safety standards such as aflatoxin-free. A highly versatile ingredient in the kitchen, California Raisins are also a sugar replacement for many recipes in cooking and baking.
Colourful with vibrant hues, my creation “Merrylicious California Raisin Smoothie Bowl” for the California Raisins “Sweet Naturally” campaign is a sweet naturally healthy meal, which is perfect to consume in this festive season after all the heavy dishes!!
