Discover the ultimate summer snack that combines flavor and freshness. The yogurt bowl with watermelon, mint, and walnuts is an easy and healthy option for breakfast, a snack, or a light dessert.
The base of yogurt provides us with high-quality protein and probiotics that contribute to gut health. Watermelon offers hydration, natural sweetness, and powerful antioxidant action thanks to lycopene.
Lycopene belongs to the category of carotenoids and has been studied for its protective effect against prostate cancer.
There are several studies in the literature that have investigated the relationship between lycopene intake and the incidence of prostate cancer, with many of them reporting that individuals who consume larger amounts of lycopene have a lower risk of developing prostate cancer compared to those with lower intake.
Walnuts add a crunchy texture and are a source of beneficial omega-3 fatty acids, while fresh mint and citrus zest enhance the freshness and aroma.
