Mother’s Day Simple Breakfast in Bed

Breakfast in bed on Mother’s day? Absolutely! A delightfully simple smoothie bowl which is blood sugar friendly and loaded with antioxidants and good fats. It’s my favourite breakfast for a lazy start and perfect for a Mother’s Day “stay in bed till late” type of morning… maybe followed by a few hours in the spa afterwards.
Servings: 1 person

Ingredients

  • 200 grams Almond yogurt
  • handful raw cashews (pre-soaked for at least an hour is best)
  • 4 Brazil nuts
  • 1 tbsp maca powder
  • 1 passion fruit
  • Handful of fresh raspberries
  • 1/2 tbsp dried goji berries
  • 1/2 tbsp cinnamon
  • 1 ripe fig
  • 1 tbsp desiccated coconut

Instructions

  • Cut passionfruit in half and with a spoon scoop out the flesh and seeds into a bowl. Discard the skin. Cut the fig into slices or thin wedges.
  • In a blender or food processor combine the yogurt, cashews, brazil nuts, passion fruit, maca powder and cinnamon. Decant smoothie into a bowl and decorate with raspberries, fig, goji berries and desiccated coconut. The nuts can be varied to taste and also include seeds of your choice.

"I have enjoyed all the classes on the Vegan Natural Chef course so far but the digestive/blood sugar balance therapeutic menu class I've enjoyed the most. My favourite thing about the course is being encouraged from everyone and being given an opportunity to express myself through cooking. We all lift each other up and that's so wonderful :) When I finish the course I'm curating my own retreats for women focused on balancing hormones, restoring and connecting with our inner energy through nutrition, dance and self-care rituals."
