Chia seed pudding

Passion Fruit Chia Pudding

Chia seeds are full of protein and fibre. Packed with antioxidants and they're high in omega 3 fatty acids. Perfect to start the day with.
I mixed this pudding with biomel to ensure that I have a healthy gut. The chia seeds soak up the pro biotic goodness.


I love Chia Pudding. If you’ve never tried it, Chia seeds soak up water to become a jelly-like pudding. They’re super hydrating, and are bursting with four times more iron than spinach! This Fig and Maple Chia Pudding is gorgeous.
Pop some berries and nuts on top for a breakfast or dessert that is bursting full of nutrition

Homemade Granola Bowl

HOMEMADE BNUTZ infused GRANOLA

BREAKFAST, BRUNCH or SNACK

I always have granola in my cupboards! It's a necessity to my lifestyle! 

Satisfying all my needs! delicious, filling and full of nutty protein. 

Be careful when you go into a superstore to check the ingredients as many granola's are packed with added sugars and palm oil. Sugar feeds diseases, so it's best to steer clear and use replacements if you have a sweet tooth. 

I usually make a large batch and have it ready to enjoy throughout the busy week. I often bring it to work to make my colleagues jealous :). 

TO SERVE: 

Pour oat milk (or your desired milk) with fresh berries and some dried fruits. 

This nutty granola will be sure to leave you feeling satisfied. The main base is nuts, the grains are jumbo oats and amaranth, with a sprinkle of milled flaxseeds which are high in omega 3. Lastly, a sprinkle of psyllium husks. Drizzle with an extra dollop of BNUTZ.

INGREDIENTS

2 cups of oats

1 cup of mixed nuts

1 cup of flaxseeds

1 tablespoon of psyllium husks

1 large tablespoon of BNUTZ

1/2 cup of goji berries

3 tbsp of chia seeds (optional)

1.5 tsps of cinnamon

1 pinch of salt

Handful of fresh berries

4 tbsp of coconut oil

(Double the quantity for extra). 

DIRECTIONS

Preheat the oven to 175C

Place everything but the coconut oil in a bowl and stir well.

Place the coconut oil in a large pan on a low heat and melt. Take it off the heat and pour in all the dry ingredients, stir well so everything gets covered evenly in the coconut oil.

Place the mixture onto a baking tray and bake for 20 minutes, then remove the tray from the oven, give it a good stir, then cook for another 10 minutes.

Keep a close eye as it can burn.

Let it cool before you pop it into a jar to seal.

Enjoy it with a handful of fresh berries, dried fruit and some milk.
