Dark chocolate & kefir mousse

10 min + chill

Why it helps: 85% cacao is rich in polyphenols that beneficial bacteria ferment, and kefir keeps it live.

  • 100g 85% dark chocolate, melted
  • 3/4 cup thick plain kefir or yogurt
  • 1 tsp maple syrup
  • Pinch of sea salt, raspberries to serve

Fold cooled melted chocolate into the kefir with the syrup and salt, chill 2 hours, top with raspberries.

Dessert

Baked cinnamon apples with walnuts

25 min

Why it helps: Apple pectin is a gentle prebiotic fiber; walnuts add omega-3s and polyphenols.

  • 2 apples, halved and cored
  • 2 tbsp chopped walnuts
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • Spoonful of live yogurt to serve

Bake apples cut-side up at 180°C for 20 min with cinnamon, scatter walnuts, serve warm with cool yogurt.
