Why The Pineapple-Yoghurt Bowl Works: Beauty Benefits You Can Taste
1. Pineapple for the win
Pineapple is not just a tropical treat; it is great for your skin and hair as well. It is loaded with vitamin C, which helps your body produce collagen - the protein that keeps skin firm and hair strong. It also contains bromelain, a natural enzyme known for its anti-inflammatory properties, which helps reduce puffiness and support clearer, calmer skin.
2. Yoghurt for probiotic power
Plain yoghurt (or curd) brings a creamy, cooling balance to the pineapple's zing. But it is not just about taste. Yoghurt is packed with probiotics that support gut health. And a happy gut often means clearer skin and healthier hair, thanks to better digestion and toxin elimination. Plus, yoghurt is also rich in protein and B vitamins, both essential for skin cell repair and hair growth.

3. Add-ons for extra glow
Want to take your bowl to the next level? Toss in a few of these beauty-boosting extras:
- Pistachios: A complete protein with a good dose of lutein and fibre, great for skin elasticity and overall health.
- Chia seeds: Tiny but mighty, they are full of omega-3s and fibre, which help keep skin hydrated and reduce inflammation.
- Honey: Not only does it add natural sweetness, but it also helps preserve the probiotics in yoghurt and has its antibacterial benefits.
