I don't know about you, but I feel like summer kicks my schedule into high gear. And I kinda love it! I mean, who's gonna complain about beach days and pool parties?

But it does dip into my meal prep time a bit so I've been on the hunt for easy, quick recipes that still make me feel great and help me stick to my #goals. And, babes, have I ever got one for you! This Pear Ginger Almond Parfait is such an easy breakfast! It takes seriously 5 minutes to throw together and leaves me feeling incredible. It even helps me debloat — just in time for swimsuit season!

What I love about this recipe

Okay, now that I've shared my life hack with you, let's talk more about this recipe. I'm loving it not just because it's such an easy breakfast recipe to de-bloat, but also because pretty much every ingredient in it gives you a boost. It's got:

• Minced ginger:Ginger helps to kickstart your digestion and stimulate your gastric juices (think: saliva, bile). Sounds kinda gross, I know, but these help your body break down your food well so you don't get bloated.
• Fresh fruit:The fiber + water combo in the pears and blueberries also help your digestion, keeping everything moving along.
• Honey:This awesome antioxidant helps to fight free radicals while also shrinking any inflammation in your gut, helping you feel great.
• Plain yogurt:Have you heard about probiotics? These are the healthy bacteria we need living in our stomachs to break down our food and yogurt has a ton of them!
• Almonds:Thanks to their healthy omega-3 fatty acids, almonds help you stay fuller longer. Plus, they're rich in antioxidants and add a satisfying crunch to this recipe.

I made a few tweaks to this to make it 100% LSF approved so, ready to get to it? Let's whip this baby up!
