Why did we choose these ingredients. Great question! Here is the breakdown:
Greek Yogurt
- Excellent source of protein
- Supports gut health with probiotics
- Rich in calcium for healthy bones
Mixed Berries
- Packed with antioxidants
- High in fiber and vitamin C
- Help combat oxidative stress
Collagen Peptides
- Adds an extra boost of protein
- Supports healthy skin, joints, ligaments, and connective tissue
- Note, collagen easily dissolves without changing the flavor
Nuts, Chia & Flax
- Healthy fats that support brain and heart health
- Fiber to promote healthy digestion
- Omega-3 fatty acids to help support a balanced inflammatory response
- Since I have a nut allergy, we opt for chia and flax seeds for healthy fats.
A regulated nervous system thrives when your body has consistent nourishment. Starting your day with 30-40 grams of protein, healthy fats, and fiber can help support stable blood sugar, sustained energy, hormone balance, and focus throughout the day.
Pair this parfait with a glass of water, a few minutes of morning sunlight, and a short walk outdoors for a simple routine that helps your body reset, regulate, and restore.
