What It’s Good For:
Greek Yogurt: Packed with probiotics that help improve gut health, boost digestion, and support immune function. Look for plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt to keep it low in sugar and high in protein. For those who are dairy-free, coconut or almond yogurt are great alternatives that offer a similar creamy texture with beneficial fats.
Blackberries: These antioxidant-rich berries help fight inflammation, support brain health, and boost your immune system. They’re also high in fiber, which aids digestion and helps regulate blood sugar levels—making them great for people with diabetes or those watching their blood sugar.
Dried Pineapple: Pineapple contains bromelain, an enzyme that helps with digestion and reduces inflammation. It’s also high in vitamin C, which supports immune health and skin vitality. Look for unsweetened dried pineapple to avoid added sugars.
Pumpkin Seeds: These little seeds are packed with magnesium, zinc, and healthy fats. They’re excellent for heart health, improving sleep, and supporting prostate health in men. Pumpkin seeds also help reduce inflammation and support a strong immune system.
Sunflower Seeds: Rich in vitamin E, sunflower seeds help protect your cells from oxidative stress and support skin health. They also provide a good dose of healthy fats and protein, making this bowl more filling and balanced.
Conditions This Can Help With:
Gut health: The probiotics in yogurt, paired with the fiber in blackberries and pineapple, support a healthy gut and improved digestion.
Immune system support: Blackberries and pineapple are rich in antioxidants and vitamin C, which help boost your immune defenses.
Anti-inflammatory benefits: Both the seeds and fruits offer anti-inflammatory properties, making this bowl a great choice for people dealing with inflammation or joint pain.
Blood sugar regulation: The fiber and healthy fats help stabilize blood sugar levels, which can be beneficial for those with diabetes or insulin resistance.
This Fruit and Yogurt Bowl is not only delicious but also loaded with essential nutrients that help your body function at its best. Whether you’re looking to start your day with a healthy breakfast or enjoy it as a midday snack, this bowl is the perfect way to nourish your body while enjoying the vibrant flavors of Los Cabos!
