-
Cucumber and hummus - hydrating, crunchy, and packed with fiber.
-
Yogurt parfait with berries and a sprinkle of flaxseed - probiotics + prebiotics = a gut health win.
-
Frozen grapes or blueberries - easy, refreshing, and full of antioxidants.
-
Homemade chia seed pudding - cooling, fiber-rich, and gentle on digestion.
