Guava & Citrus Fiber Bowl (Blood-Sugar–Friendly Recipe)

This refreshing bowl combines guava with protein and healthy fats to help support steady energy levels. It’s naturally sweet, rich in fiber, and quick to prepare—perfect for breakfast or a light snack.

Ingredients (Serves 2)

• 2 ripe guavas, diced (seeds removed if preferred)
• ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (unsweetened)
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• 1 tablespoon chopped almonds or walnuts
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon fresh lime or lemon juice
• Optional: a few berries (like blueberries or strawberries)

Instructions
Start by washing and slicing the guavas into small cubes. Guava skin is edible and rich in nutrients, so you can leave it on if you like. If the seeds are too hard for your preference, scoop them out gently.

In a bowl, add the plain Greek yogurt and stir until smooth. This provides protein, which helps slow down how quickly natural sugars are absorbed into the bloodstream.

Add the chopped guava on top of the yogurt. Sprinkle in chia seeds and nuts for extra fiber and healthy fats. These ingredients work together to support more stable blood sugar levels compared to eating fruit alone.

Next, dust the mixture with cinnamon. Cinnamon is often used in blood-sugar–friendly recipes because it may help improve insulin sensitivity slightly, though it’s not a treatment.

Drizzle fresh lime or lemon juice over the bowl to brighten the flavor and balance the sweetness. If you’d like, add a handful of berries for extra antioxidants and color.

Mix lightly or enjoy layered.

Tips & Benefits
Guava is high in vitamin C and fiber, which can support digestion and overall health. Pairing it with protein (like yogurt) and fats (like nuts or seeds) helps reduce blood sugar spikes.

For a dairy-free option, substitute Greek yogurt with unsweetened coconut or almond yogurt. Keep portions moderate if you’re monitoring carbohydrate intake.
