EAT RED WHITE BLUE!

Footy win intrigues NC Chef to find red, white, and blue in her breakfast bowl.

Super healthy and delicious cocojune plain coconut yogurt shaped like a fancy scoop of ice cream serves as the base for blueberries, pineapple, cherries, grainless granola (recipe coming soon) strawberry stars, and gold leaf.

Blue – BLUEBERRIES – Anti-inflammatory/Brain/Eye & Heart Health (anthocyanins, K, C, minerals)

Red – STRAWBERRIES/CHERRIES – Anti-inflammatory/Anti-cancer Agent/Brain/Eye & Heart Health/ (anthocyanins, pelargonidin, lycopene, C, minerals)

White – COCONUT – Specific to yogurt for this post. Why coconut over dairy? Easier digestion, vegan, free of dairy casein (proteins) that may inhibit absorption of coffee’s antioxidant benefits. Coconut-based saturated fat is composed of plant-based medium chain triglycerides (MCTs) which are processed in the body differently than animal-based saturated fat MCTs.

Yellow/Gold – PINEAPPLE – Immunity Booster/Anti-inflamatory (C, bromelain, minerals) 24 karat GOLD leaf (inert)

GRAIN FREE GRANOLA – Paleonola Grain Free Vanilla Bean (no organic ingredients) & purely elizabeth grain-free coconut cashew (organic ingredients but not all organic). Let’s make our own for the next blog. It’s hard to find certain ORGANIC for some ingredients, but let’s see if we can find them and the cost different.
