Yogurt with berries and nuts | simple breakfast idea

Simple Healthy Breakfast Idea With Low Carb Option That You Can Make In 5 Minutes Using Some Yogurt, Berries And Nuts!

We've been reshooting a lot of recipes. And one of the things we currently ate and shot was this yogurt bowl. Now, we must say, we haven’t been eating yogurt that much lately. We're trying to keep a gluten-free and dairy-free diet since probably a year (it’s an on and off thing, we can’t seem to be that strict with myself). But yogurt and some cheeses don’t seem to affect us at all.

Dare we say that yogurt with actual live bacteria inside makes us feel better? It does. If you don’t like it, don’t eat it – it’s just what works for our body.

This bowl was fast, simple and tasty. We topped it with some raspberries, blueberries (could not find blackberries) and chopped almonds since we forgot to buy walnuts. We also topped this one with some almond butter and it was satisfying. If you need a fast breakfast idea and like yogurt – try this for breakfast or snack.

Now let’s travel back to 2016 and see what Gaical from that time wrote.

This yogurt with berries “recipe” is not rocket science, but just in case somebody can’t figure it out – we're sharing how to make it. This breakfast is gluten-free, made in 3 minutes and satisfying. And we must say we have never been a fan of yogurt. But this thing changed us.

For us, yogurt was just something we used in a nice yogurt-garlic sauce like this one, but never more than that. Our whole life we thought yogurt with anything for breakfast is disgusting. We don’t know why, we're weird. We just know: it’s no pancakes.

But it all changed a few years ago when we started reading about gut health and about how you need to keep that gut flora healthy or else this could ruin your health and your life. Never in our life had we, ever, thought about gut flora. We knew something was going on in there, but who knew what.

Gut Community: A Little Introduction

In short: everyone has bacteria in their gut, whether you like it or not – it’s buzzing in there. And there are good and bad bacteria.

Unfortunately, when we eat too many processed foods and too much meat we starve the good bacteria and feed the bad bacteria. When the bad bacteria are fed all the time they don’t get fat like us, instead they get stronger and multiply. Then they start making toxins that get into the body and go to different tissues, among these – the skin.

And then little by little you stop looking so fabulous and start looking like you’ve been up for 3 weeks in a row – dull skin, bags under your eyes, possibly some acne – in summary not your best look.

And that’s just a tiny problem compared to all the damage those bad bacteria could do to your health. Let’s just say they weaken the immune system and from there everything goes bad – from various infections to cancer.

How Do We Solve This “Problem”?

The one thing we need to do is bring more good bacteria (probiotics) into the gut, so they can fight off the bad guys. It’s their thing. We also need to feed those bacteria with their favorite foods – whole natural plant foods with lots of prebiotics. Then they can grow, get stronger, multiply and fight harder for their territory in the gut.

And that’s why a little probiotic yogurt loaded with good bacteria is always a good idea. If you like other fermented foods like sauerkraut, kimchi and we don’t know what more, those are also great. In fact, probiotics from plants might even be better for you, if you’re lactose intolerant, but you have to make your own choice.

For us yogurt is solid. We actually started loving it, once we started eating it more often. Just within a few days, we couldn’t get enough of it. And this recipe much describes our favorite way to eat it right now. This breakfast is light, creamy, satisfying, beyond simple, fast and on top it’s gluten-free.
