Tips:

• Good for your gut: Kefir is a fermented milk product that contains millions of live healthy bacteria to help feed your gut. Fermented foods like kefir, miso, traditional sauerkraut and kimchi help feed your healthy gut bacteria which can impart health benefits to digestion, regularity and help boost your immune system and reduce inflammation. 
• Power up on protein: Greek yogurt contains more than double the protein of other yogurts. At about 15 to 17 g protein per ¾ cup depending on the brand. It makes for a great, high protein addition to any meal and snack. 
• Substitution: Feel free to substitute the almonds with walnuts, pumpkin seeds or nut butter or replace them with hemp, chia or ground flax seeds. These nuts and seeds are good sources of healthy fat, protein and most provide a good source of fibre too.
