Consume! Ricotta has plenty of calcium and protein, and is made from whey, a low allergy dairy food. Whey contains lactoferrin, a potent immune boosting compound. Berries contain anthocyanins, valuable antioxidants helping to prevent a host of conditions including heart disease, diabetes and cancer. Yoghurt provides calcium and probiotics. The walnuts are another burst of protein and provide plenty of omega 3 fatty acids. Coconut provides fibre and other good fatty acids.
