Greek Yogurt with Blood Orange, Pistachio, and Honey

This was a low-symptom afternoon. No POTS dizziness, no lupus joint pain, and no migraine warning signs. I wanted something cold and easy after walking back from campus - filling enough to hold me over, but not heavy.

This is a “safe on good days” bowl for me. Not something I’d reach for during a migraine-prone window, but steady when my body is calm.

Disorder impact

Disorder	Helpful?	Rationale
POTS	No	This bowl is naturally low in sodium (< 100 mg). It’s refreshing and has protein, but it won’t support blood volume on its own.
Lupus	Neutral-to-supportive	Yogurt provides protein and calcium; blood oranges add vitamin C and antioxidants. No obvious inflammatory triggers, but not a targeted anti-inflammatory meal.
Vestibular migraine	Depends	Fresh Greek yogurt can be moderate in histamine. Fine for me on low-risk days, but I’d swap or skip on higher-risk days.

Ingredients — makes one medium bowl

Item	Amount	Notes
Plain Greek yogurt (2%)	¾ cup	Fresh container, opened same day
