Greek yogurt is a great option for getting more protein into your diet without using a protein powder supplement. It’s rich in beneficial bacteria or probiotics. These friendly flora are essential to proper digestion, assimilation of nutrients, and immune system functioning. Greek yogurt also provides a good amount of calcium – in a form that’s more easily absorbed due to the beneficial bacteria or live cultures.

Strawberries are loaded with antioxidants (high in vitamin C) and their nutrient profile leads to the following health benefits: boost your immunity, good for you eyes, anti-inflammatory, blood pressure regulator, and good for your skin.
