Iced Coconut Yoghurt & Berry Parfait
Berries are packed full of vitamins and minerals, are high in fibre and polyphenols that give them their fabulous colour.
Polyphenols are compounds loved by our gut, and they are also good for our heart. With their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, polyphenols can help balance cholesterol as well as lower blood pressure and reinforce the lining of the heart.
Blueberries, Blackberries and strawberries in particular, which are high in a type of polyphenol called anthocyanins, are helpful in regulating blood flow and reducing metabolic risk factors that could contribute to heart disease.
