Pre- and probiotics

Greek yoghurt is rich in probiotics which support a healthy gut microbiome. And pears provide valuable prebiotics that promote the growth of these beneficial bacteria, further contributing to strong microbiome health.

Protein

Proteins help trigger satiety hormones while lowering levels of the hunger hormone, ghrelin. As a result, we not only feel full quickly, but for longer too.

Chia, a superfood

The high levels of fibre contained in chia seeds help stabilise blood sugar levels and prolong satiety. They are also an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants and essential vitamins and minerals such as calcium, magnesium and iron.
