Grilling pineapple caramelizes its natural sugars and gives it this smoky-sweet edge that pairs perfectly with a scoop of plain yogurt underneath. That yogurt is doing the real gut-health lifting here, bringing live active cultures to the table, while the pineapple itself contributes bromelain and the pistachios round it out with a bit of fiber and healthy fat. It tastes like dessert but it's basically a probiotic snack in disguise. Craving more probiotic-forward fruit bowls? Try our Roasted Pineapple with Coconut Yogurt or Papaya Ginger Digestive Smoothie.

Why This Is Good for Your Gut
Plain yogurt made with live active cultures delivers beneficial bacteria like Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus directly to the gut. Pineapple contributes bromelain, an enzyme that aids protein digestion, and pistachios add fiber and unsaturated fats that support a healthy gut microbial environment.
Dessert that's secretly stocking your gut with good bacteria. We won't tell if you won't.
