Compote of red fruits with yogurt
I like to take care of myself and be "majetona", but I also like to enjoy the food; that's why I look for nutritious recipes and if possible with a few less calories.
Today's recipe, as you can see, comes through your eyes, very appealing. But it is also very healthy, since red fruits have very good vitamins, antioxidant trace elements, polyphenols, carotenoids, etc. that protect us from numerous pathologies.
Also, they have been very effective in maintaining mental acuity and reducing memory loss.
Regarding yogurt. This product derived from milk contains more than 100 million microorganisms that give us some concrete benefit, which makes it especially digestible and "feels good". In addition, yogurt helps us maintain a healthy weight. For some time it has been known that consuming it daily can help maintain a correct waist circumference and prevent fat from accumulating right there (just where I need it not to accumulate;))
