Greek Yogurt Breakfast Bowl – Gut-Friendly & Antioxidant-Rich
This breakfast is straight from mornings in Greece 🇬🇷. Simple, delicious, and packed with nutrients that support gut health, protein intake, and antioxidants.
In Greece, breakfast was always yogurt, fruit, and honey — nothing fancy, but it hit all the right notes. I’ve kept that habit going here in California, with an emphasis on high-quality, local ingredients.
I chose Nancy’s Yogurt for creaminess and probiotics, the freshest berries I could find for antioxidants and fiber, and local honey from Shasta for a touch of natural sweetness.
