Chocolate Puffed Cereal

May 22, 2016 · In: Breakfast

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!

Creamy Bowl of Chia Oats❀ such a classic breakfa Creamy Bowl of Chia Oats❀ such a classic breakfast but with some extra goodness to boost your nutrient intake! I topped with antioxidant rich blueberry compote (frozen blueberries cooked in the saucepan with a splash of water) + sliced banana + coconut + hemp seeds. I cook about 1/2 cup of oats with water until it thickens up->then add 1 tbsp. Chia seeds + with small soy milk to get them extra creamy! I also added a bit of coyo coconut yoghurt at the end! 
❀Oats are a great way to start your day as they contain fibre and protein to keep you satisfied for longer and may help with blood sugar control. 
❀Because blueberries are high in vitamin C, it increases the absorption of the iron in oats 👌🏼

What’s your favourite toppings to have with oats?! Xx
