This yogurt bowl can be a breakfast, snack, or healthy dessert. Try it before or after exercise, to fuel or replenish. Berries are high in antioxidants that protect health, and Greek yogurt is high in protein. Nuts contain fiber and healthy fats, and the banana provides a sweet taste without added sugar. Enjoy!
