Beauty Bites Breakfast: Yogurt with Berries and Nuts

Share:

Last updated on March 11th, 2018 at 06:25 am

Yogurt with berries.

This is super easy and just in case somebody can’t figure it out – I’m sharing a little recipe.

Plus you get some ideas how to eat healthier, when you don’t have time. This breakfast is healthy, gluten-free, made in 3 minutes and super delicious.  And I must say I have never been a fan of yogurt.

But this thing changed me.

For me yogurt was just something I used in a nice yogurt-garlic sauce like this one, but never really more than that.

My whole life I thought yogurt with anything for breakfast is disgusting. I don’t know why, I’m weird. In my defense – it’s no pancakes. I also don’t like frozen yogurt or that sweetened yogurt you could buy that makes your teeth fall out.

Just not a fan of that.

But it all changed a few years ago when I started reading about gut health and about how you really need to keep that gut flora healthy or else this could ruin your health.

Never in my life had I ever thought about gut flora.

I knew something was going on in there, but who knew what.

 

A LITTLE INTRODUCTION OF THE GUT COMMUNITY

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. Pretty much like in real life with people. Unfortunately when we eat too many processed foods and too much meat we starve the good bacteria and feed the bad bacteria.

How’s that connected to beauty?

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 very 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 I 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 me yogurt is perfect. I actually started loving it, once I started eating it more often. Just within a few days I couldn’t get enough of it. And this recipe very much describes my favorite way to eat it nowadays.

This breakfast is light, creamy, satisfying, beyond easy, quick and on top it’s gluten-free.

11 ways to reduce stress naturally! Self-care tips to help you develop healthy habits and become less stressed, happier and actually more productive. | www.beautybites.org

 

Have you ever had one of those days when you get so insanely overwhelmed with todo’s, that you forget you are actually alive? Or who you actually are?

I don’t know how to describe it. But, I had quite a few days like that lately. It’s like my whole life consists of doing doing doing. So much that I forget about little things like feeling good, experiencing new things, exploring, going outside…or, you know – living.

It’s times like this in life when most of us ignore the simple, but important things in life.

Those basics.

The little things that might not be on your agenda today, but can make a whole lot of difference in every area of life.

Things like for example: Do you feel good today?

That’s a basic need.

There’s nothing wrong with wanting more from life, but to do’s simply never end. In fact, if you’re like me, you’d add more to dos to your list every single day. Or hour. They’re just never ending.

But deep down we know if we go through life just “pushing through” and doing doing doing until we achieve everything we want, there’s a pretty big chance we’ll end up burnt out and unhappy. Whether we achieve those dreams or not. Because it’s a long journey. It’s not even a marathon. A marathon is boring, life’s more like an expedition (excuses moi if you like marathons. Also pardon my French – I don’t speak it).

So let’s treat it as one. Live, learn and enjoy.

Even if you need to get your report done by tomorrow, remember that you’re allowed to feel good while you’re still working on it.

Whatever you’re going through right now, you can either go through it feeling stressed or feeling well. And this is completely your choice.

In case you choose you want to feel better, here is a collection of small things you can do daily to reduce stress naturally and to feel good, no matter what’s happening. These are easy, small things that take almost no time or big effort.

1. Smoothie

Sounds kinda annoying, but if you can’t eat healthy all the time because you’re busy, invest either some time in making your own smoothie or some money to buy one that’s actually healthy. Drinking even just one smoothie a day can make a difference in the way your body feels immediately. It’s like a huge shot of energy that goes straight to your brain. A smoothie with fruits and vegetables makes you happier, less stressed, smarter and more energetic even according to science. If you don’t have any ideas for a delicious smoothie recipe, start with this one, I’m sure you’ll love it.

 

2. Finish one little thing you’ve been putting off

This doesn’t have to be a work thing. It could be paying bills or cleaning your desk. This thing, no matter how small and insignificant it might seem, is hanging in there somewhere on your mind making you a little more stressed than you need to be. But since it doesn’t take much time or effort – start and finish it.

Cleaning your desk takes no more than 10 minutes. You’ll be surprised how relieved you can feel after you do this. The next day you do another thing you don’t feel like doing. And then you start feeling better and better. More importantly, you feel in control, which is a super important stress-reliever.

 

Ever feel so busy, that you forget you're actually alive and how you feel? Well, here are 11 simple ways to relieve stress and feel good daily, while you're still on your journey - be it a weight loss journey, a new career path, health journey or a very important work project. These things will reduce stress and remind you, it's ok to actually enjoy the ride, even if you're not where you want to be yet.

    • Hi Dot, thanks for stopping by! Sure, you could of course use a dairy-free/vegan or lactose-free yogurt…But since I have no experience with those I would suggest something different. These 2 options are very quick and use simple ingredients, but are prebiotic, which means they’re feeding the good gut bacteria.

      1. Ovenight oats: oats + dairy-free milk, proportion 1:1 and a tbsp of honey, mix well. Leave in the fridge over night. Top with fruits and nuts, maybe even some dark chocolate (very rich in antioxidants). Next week I’ll be sharing my favorite overnight oats recipe, if you’d like to check it out.

      2. Making a smoothie bowl like this one, if you want add less fluid to make it thicker. You may add any fruit you like, bananas are a great source of prebiotics though. Top with nuts, some nut butter and some more fruits if you’d like.

      Both of these options have actually more fiber and more antioxidants than the yogurt breakfast, but need 2-3 more minutes to prepare.

      Hope this helps!
      Stella
