From Madison (Community Experience Lead):

In the fall and winter, I love enjoying oatmeal since it’s nourishing and provides more Yang energy during the cold, or Yin, months. When spring and summer (Yang) come around, I switch to morning Greek yogurt since it’s a more cooling, Yin food. My go-to toppings are fresh berries to help balance my body with nature’s in-season offerings.

 

Ingredients

  • 1 cup of Greek yogurt (my favorite brand is plain Chobani 0% to avoid added sugars) 
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen berries (personally, I try to buy fresh berries in the spring and summer as they are in season and often on sale in most stores)
  • Honey or agave nectar to taste 
  • 3 full droppers of Stay Well — or 6 full droppers of Cycle Balance before my period 

Directions

Assemble your bowl like the artist you are, and feel free to add additional toppings like: 

  • Bee pollen
  • Grain-free granola 
  • Cinnamon
  • Nut butter
