This breakfast is a tasty mixture of protein, fruits, and healthy fats found
in
cacao nibs, which keeps you full for longer and is much healthier than the processed
junk food we grew up on.
It's so simple and takes minutes to
assemble. First, empty a container of plain Greek yogurt into a
bowl. The Greek yogurt provides protein that helps build lean muscle,
which may promote weight loss, and it keeps you full for longer. If
you cannot tolerate dairy, like me, I have found this great alternative by
Ripple that is dairy-free and still full of protein and probiotics.
Next, top the yogurt with sliced fresh fruit. Berries and
cherries (I use frozen cherries) are a great option, as they are full of
anti-oxidants, which fight inflammation and protect cells from
disease. They may even help to prevent cancer and other diseases
such as Alzheimer's.
Finally, the star of the show is
cacao nibs. These crunchy, chocolatey nuggets of goodness are basically raw
chocolate, and they add texture to the meal, along with health
benefits. Cacao is full of antioxidants as well as magnesium, a
nutrient that is important for muscle and nerve function.
Ingredients:
1 container of Greek yogurt (or dairy-free Greek yogurt that is high in
protein, like Ripple Yogurt Alternative)
1 cup of fresh fruit
1 tsp cacao nibs
Combine in a bowl and enjoy!
1 cup of fresh fruit
1 tsp cacao nibs
