Added bonus, grapefruit helps the body use insulin efficiently, which keeps blood sugar under control and boosts calorie burn.
Pineapple – is packed with nutrients and an important enzyme called bromelain, which metabolizes protein, eases inflammation, and decreases bloating.
Greek yogurt – is an excellent source of calcium, potassium, zinc and B vitamins. It also has protein (to help with satiety) and probiotic cultures for good gut health.
Coconut oil – for the medium-chain fatty acids, which are easily digested, burned for energy, and promote blood sugar stabilization.
Fresh ginger – is amazing for treating nausea and has awesome anti-inflammatory effects.
