Chocolate Puffed Cereal

    Today I wanted to share with you a bit of a fun chocolate cereal recipe that I’ve been loving lately! Making your own cereal is the way to go because you control what ingredients goes in it. Unfortunately, the wide range of cereals available in the supermakert are usually full of processed sugars, colourings and preservatives. Even some of the “healthy” cereals contains large amounts of sugar!

    Recipe health benefits 

    This recipe contains delicious puffed grains including buckwheat, millet and quinoa which are all  great gluten free grains packed with essential amino acids and protein! Oats are high in fibre keeping you fuller for longer throughout the morning. Cacao is high in antioxidants and is known to cross the blood-brain barrier which helps protect the nervous system. Almond butter is high in vitamin E, calcium, magnesium which contributes to healthy bones.

    Making this cereal is very easy to make, contains minimal ingredients and is the perfect alternative to supermarket cereals! Serving suggestions: I suggest serving this with plant-based milk of your choice and top with your favourite fruits. Alternately, you can serve with yogurt or on top of a chocolate smoothie bowl!
