1/2 cup blueberries
2 cups Greek yogurt, full-fat
1 Tbs maple syrup

🍓Rich in Antioxidants
Berries are incredibly high in antioxidants. Antioxidants help protect your cells from damage caused by free radicals, which can lead to an increased risk of disease. Eating berries can also help protect against inflammation.

🍓Nutrient-dense
Berries are packed with nutrients like Vitamin C, potassium, and fiber. Vitamin C helps keep your skin looking young and healthy while potassium is important for regulating blood pressure levels. Fiber helps promote digestion and improves cholesterol levels.

🍓Brain Function
Berries are rich in flavonoids, which are important for maintaining cognitive function and preventing age-related cognitive decline.

Avoiding dairy? No problem - just replace the dairy yogurt with coconut yogurt.
