That’s where this Greek Yogurt Berry Parfait comes in.

What Makes This Recipe Gut-Healthy?
Here’s the scoop:
- Greek Yogurt: It’s loaded with probiotics, aka the good bacteria your gut craves. These little guys help balance your gut microbiome, making digestion smoother and boosting immunity.
- Berries: Blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries are all rich in fiber, which is essential for feeding the healthy bacteria in your gut. Plus, they’re loaded with antioxidants that fight inflammation.
- Chia Seeds or Flaxseeds (Optional): These are gut health superheroes. They’re high in prebiotic fiber, which acts like food for your probiotics, helping them thrive.
Eating gut-friendly foods like this Greek Yogurt Berry Parfait can improve your digestion and overall well-being.
