Servings20 portions

Prep Time15 minutes

Passive Time2 hours

Ingredients

3tbsp Desiccated coconut
3tbsp smooth peanut butter
2tbsp Cacao Powdercan use cocoa powder but cacao is more nutritious
1tbsp coconut oil
1tbsp chia seeds

Instructions

MIx half of the desiccated coconut and all other ingredients in a bowl. The consistency wants to be moist, not too dry, not too wet. So that you can form little balls in the palm of your hands. If too wet, add more Cocao powder and Coconut. If too dry, add more oil and peanut butter.
Roll the mixture into even sized balls and lat them on a baking tray. Once you have used all the mixture, sprinkle the remaining coconut over the your protein balls and roll them around so that it sticks to the surface. Then leave in the fridge to set.
I bag these up in groups of 5 and put them in the freezer to take out as and when I want them. They last for up to 3 months in the freezer and up to 10 days in the fridge.

I love this simple breakfast. Can easily be half prepped the night before and enjoyed hot or cold. Super simple and full of incredible B-vits, omegas and potassium to keep your bones and muscles strong and feed you brain.

Prep Time2 minutes

Cook Time3 - 5 minutes

Ingredients

2tbsp chia seeds
1cup Oat milk
2tbsp Oats
1/2large Banana

Instructions

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.
Soak the oats in water the night before. Again these will swell up and be nice and juicy to use for breakfast.
Mash the banana.
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.
Heat and stir until you have reached the desired consistency.
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!
