100% maple syrup is a natural sweetener that is high in manganese and zinc, important immune system allies. Ground flaxseeds are the richest plant source of the inflammation fighting omega-3 fatty acids. They contain fiber, which improves insulin sensitivity and wards off fat build-up. Greek yogurt has about double the amount of hunger-controlling protein and fewer carbs than regular yogurt. Plus probiotics to support your immune system.
