]]> When I get an excess of berries I either juice them or freeze them. The juice from the raspberries turned my oats a lovely pink colour and the mix of sharp and sweet flavours was delicious.

Filled with good energy in natural carbs, antioxidants, anti-inflammatories, protein, healthy fats, antibacterial with anti fungal properties in the honey, this really is the best way to start your day for a real IBS reducing morning boost!

  3. Next I chopped the banana into bite sized pieces and added this to the other side of the bowl.
  4. Then I poured over the yoghurt, sprinkled the seeds and drizzled the honey.

Instructions
  1. Soak the chia seeds in the cup of milk the night before. They will swell up and fill the cup so give them a stir before using.
  2. Soak the oats in water the night before. Again these will swell up and be nice and juicy to use for breakfast.
  3. Mash the banana.
  4. In the morning, grab the oats and chia seeds from the fridge, add them to a small saucepan on a low heat and add the mashed banana. You may want to add a little more water at this stage if the consistency is too thick.
  5. Heat and stir until you have reached the desired consistency.
  6. Can also be enjoyed unheated as a cold breakfast on a warm morning. Either way this tasty treat is nutritious and full of goodness to start your day!

Well, not quite but it is very good for the eyes and if I have a lot of computer work to do this really helps me feel less foggy. Great for energy and easy digestion this tasty treat will soon become a form favourite!

You will need a smoothie maker for this recipe! I used a Nutri-Bullet. Not expensive and in regular use at my house!

Carrot and orange smoothie
Servings1 person
Prep Time5 minutes
Ingredients
  • 1 Carrot
  • 1 Orange
  • 2tbsp Oatsorganic gluten free rolled oats are best
  • 1/2cup Waterdistilled, energised, fresh clear water is best
  • 1/2 Bananafor added sweetness
  • 1tsp seedsI used flax seeds to help keep my bowel moving but any seeds will do
  • 1lime wedgefor decoration and added sharpness
Instructions
  1. TIP! Pour the water into the smoothie jug first so nothing gets clogged or stuck at the top.
  2. Peel and chop the orange and wash and chop the carrot. Peel banana and break into small chunks. Add these to the smoothie maker.
  3. Add the dry ingredients. If you take vitamins you can add these to the mix if not in capsule form. I added my vitamin D to this smoothie just to make doubly sure I was getting everything I need to set me up for the day.
  4. Blend or pulse for 30 - 40 seconds until smoothie is fully blended. You may add more water at this point if you prefer a less thick consistency. I like to 'chew' my smoothies and make a real meal out of it but we will each have a personal preference on desired consistency. Go with the flow and enjoy the glow! Serve with a lime wedge.

]]> Porridge Oats are slow release Carbs that will keep you feeling fuller for longer. The Banana is loaded with Potassium which is great for brain function and Blueberries are packed with Antioxidants that will help prevent free radical damage to your cells.

The Salt will help replenish Electrolytes and provide energy, as will the Maple Syrup (try to source organic and pure forms of these flavourings).

*OPTIONAL* Use seeds if staying away from nuts and nut products. The Walnuts will provide omegas (healthy fats), Protein and Vitamin E, another powerful antioxidant.

  1. Mash the banana into a bowl and set aside.
  2. whisk the eggs in a separate bowl, then combine with the banana.
  3. Add in the flour if you are using.
  4. Heat a fry pan, or pancakes pan to reasonably high temperature and a little olive oil or butter. Dollop in a big spoon full of pancake mixture until you have the shape you want. I use a very small fry pan for 1 egg to get perfect round mini pancakes.
  5. Slice up the pineapple into small pieces and fry off in a separate pan with the maple syrup. Don't over do it - you just need to heat these through and coat them with maple syrup.
  6. Serve your pancakes with the sticky pineapple and crushed walnuts on top.
