Good-Fat 101: Why Ghee & Almonds Beat Seed-Oil Hype Every Single Time

The fat panic rewind

Seed oils stormed kitchens promising “heart-healthy” PUFAs, but their ultra-high omega-6 load and tendency to oxidise at high heat are finally under scrutiny.

Ghee: the gold standard

Clarified butter from A2-milk cows offers short- and medium-chain fatty acids, fat-soluble vitamins A, D & E, and a naturally high smoke point (≈250 °C)—all with minimal trans-fats. Ghee intake has even been shown to raise HDL (“good”) cholesterol in clinical settings.

Almonds: nature’s crunchy MUFA capsule

One handful (28 g, our wholesome indulgence range has 15 g/330ml) delivers ~13 g of monounsaturated fat, fibre, magnesium, and half your day’s vitamin E—without weight gain worries.

What seed oils can’t do

Industrial processing strips antioxidants, and repeated heating produces aldehydes linked to inflammation. Ghee’s saturated-and-short-chain profile stays stable; almond MUFAs resist oxidation.

Suuperdrinks’ creamy logic

We blend A2 ghee and almond extract not for nostalgia but functionality:

• Nutrient escort—fat-soluble vitamins (A, E, K) in berries and cocoa get absorbed.

• Texture without thickeners—good fats make it luxuriously smooth.

• Balanced energy—fats slow carbohydrate absorption, extending your “steady state” window.

Quick swaps for your pantry

• Cook dals in a teaspoon of ghee instead of sunflower oil.

• Toss salads with almond-tahini dressing instead of industrial vinaigrettes.

Final sip

Good fat isn’t just “allowed”—it’s essential. With thoughtful sources like ghee and almonds, you nourish cells, calm inflammation, and make every bite (or sip) more satisfying.
