Blueberry Breakfast Bowl

admin — Wed, 01 Jan 2025 16:48:58 +0000

Just look at these sexy healthy colours in this deliciously filling and good for your gut breakfast option! I must admit, I never used to eat oats as I thought they were so boring, but now I can’t get enough of these energy fuelled bad boys!

So good for our guts as oats are a prebiotic food and the beta-glucan fibre helps feed the good bacteria. The fiber helps to keep you full for hours by slowing down digestion and contributes to keeping bowel movements regular. A healthy gut decreases the risk for disease and inflammation. Good gut health, is good overall health. True health starts in the gut!

I accompanied my breakfast with a glass of blueberry oat milk, which I used to colour the oats with. This was made using the MilkyPlant machine, using a scoop of oats, a few blueberries and a pitted date. This magic machine really is a total game-changer in terms of creating really fast and tasty nutritious plant milks and juices. You can find out more on my Recomended Products page AND get £20 off if you decide, like me, that you can’t live without one!

With this tasty gut goodness in mind, treat yourself to a bag of organic rolled oats and see what creations you can come up with, and in the meantime, if you keep your eyes out on my website and social media, you will find more oat based recipes at the ready. You can also share these recipes on Twitter and {interest if you love them as much as I do!

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!

Next I chopped the banana into bite sized pieces and added this to the other side of the bowl.

Chocolate Love Hearts

Making these chocolates could not be any simpler.

It is actually easier to make these delicious ‘good for you’ chocolates than it is to get your shoes on and go to the shops to buy some ‘bad for you’ dairy, sugar and preservative filled snack.

Not only that but these chocolates come complete with a host of B Vits and Vitamins E and K with Minerals such as Calcium, Iron and Potassium, Healthy Fats, Antioxidants and organic sugars to keep you energised.

Chocolate Love Hearts

You can add whichever type of dried fruit or nuts that take your fancy. For our recipe we have used dried cranberries and crushed pecans.

Servings12 people

Prep Time5 minutes

Passive Time1 hour

Ingredients

1Cup Cacao Powder
½Cup Melted Coconut Oil
¼Cup Organic Honey
1handful Chopped Dried Cranberries
1handful Chopped Pecans
1 Chocolate Heart Shaped Mould(optional - you could use a baking tray)

Instructions

Mix the cacao powder, melted coconut oil and honey together to form the chocolate base.
Add in your favourite flavourings. Raisins, dried blueberries, cranberries, almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts and pecans are all really nice in whichever combination you desire.
You could try Peppermint oil, Orange zest or even a small drop of Chilli oil. Sea salt and Lime is also a great choice. The choice is yours with whatever flavour takes your fancy.
Stir your flavours into the chocolate base and either pour into the chocolate mould or spread flat onto a baking tray.
Then simply put into the freezer for 1 hour.
Once cooled, take the chocolates out of the moulds and dust with cacao powder and serve. Or break into chunks, dust and serve.
These will last for 3 - 4 days in the fridge (although I doubt there will be any left)!

Recipe Notes

These are SO good but not calorie free and of course do contain natural sugars. So be careful and don't eat too many.
