Keeping you fuller for longer
Naturally Gorgeous is an innovative new smoothie developed jointly with nutritionist Amanda Ursell is marketed as the drink for the health conscious made with a compound called PinnoThin that keeps you fuller for longer.
Currently there are only two drink flavours on the market - ruby orange & strawberry, and coconut and pineapple - and I’m sure more flavours are expected soon. The magical ingriedient that helps to do what it says on the box, called PinnoThin is a completely natural ingridient derived from pine nut oil and mixes essential fats that will take control of your hunger. Pine nuts are a naturally rich source of essential fats and have been consumed in Asian countries for centuries.
Before Naturally Gorgeous came along, people were drinking smoothies not aware fully of their high calories and so by drinking Naturally Gorgeous with PinnoThin, one can stay fuller for longer and avoid excessive calorie consumption.
According to Amanda Ursell,
“The problem is, when we drink calories rather than eating them in foods, it seems that the area of our brains which tell us that we are feeling full do not get triggered very effectively. In other words we can slurp down drinks and not register the calories that we are adding to our daily total. The idea that a drink may be able to fulfill the role off both a drink and be filling fascinates me. Naturally Gorgeous drinks have been made using low GI ingredients including fruit juices, skimmed milk, agave nectar (a natural sweetener which comes from the blue cactus plant in Mexico), pectin (a soluble fibre which appears to slow down stomach emptying) and a fascinating ingredient made from pine nuts called PinnoThin”
Seems like a good thing, but does it do what it says on the carton. Would love to hear your comments below.
