Greek yogurt is a great way to fuel up with some protein while adding a probiotic benefit to serve your gut health. And when you flavor them up like these, it’s like eating dessert! Although these are perfect for a breakfast option or individually as snacks.

Note: If you didn’t know, almonds are a neutral food. So, when combining almonds with acidic fruits such as berries — you’ll be neutralizing the acidity (this is a GERD-Maintenance option — NOT for the Healing GERD Phase).
