Dietitian Notes
Bananas and Greek yogurt provide potassium and protein for steady energy. Nut butter adds healthy fats for satiety. Don’t forget the toppings! Berries are always a great choice– low in sugar, its high in antioxidants and fiber. This is also a great vehicle for nuts and seeds that are rich in healthy fats and nutrients. Daily Elements microgreens enhance the nutrient profile, offering extra plant compounds that support energy metabolism and immune support.
