Method

  1. In a bowl, combine the Greek yoghurt, chia seeds and flaxseeds. Mix well and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes to allow the chia seeds to absorb moisture and soften.
  2. Wash and dry the berries, then arrange them on top of the yoghurt mixture.
  3. Sprinkle the sliced almonds or walnuts evenly over the bowl.
  4. Drizzle with raw honey for a touch of natural sweetness (if using).
  5. Add any optional toppings, such as cacao nibs or cinnamon, for added polyphenol and gut-health benefits.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy a nutrient-packed, gut-friendly breakfast.

Gut health benefits

Live Greek yoghurt: Rich in probiotics that support a healthy gut microbiome.

Chia seeds & flaxseeds: Soluble fibre that feeds beneficial bacteria and aids digestion.

Mixed berries: Rich in polyphenols and antioxidants, which may support gut barrier function and inflammation control.

Almonds & walnuts: Healthy fats and fibre; linked to higher butyrate levels in human studies.

Raw honey: Contains small amounts of natural prebiotics; keep it to a light drizzle.

Gut bacteria supported

Bifidobacterium: Fed by the fibre in chia, flaxseed and berries; supports gut health and immune function.

Lactobacillus: Live cultures from the yoghurt support a healthy gut and aid digestion.

Streptococcus thermophilus: A classic yoghurt culture that helps digest lactose.

Akkermansia muciniphila: May be boosted by polyphenols from berries; supports the gut lining.
