This is a warm comforting alternative to grain-containing cereal and it’s similar in consistency to oatmeal, but it is high in protein, fiber and fat.
It is a low glycemic cereal that helps you keep your blood sugar from spiking.
I eat this several times per week for breakfast and I switch the fruit, according to the season. Give it a try and let me know what you think.
Ingredients:
2 Tbsp. walnuts or other nuts
¼ green apple chopped and ¼ cup blueberries
2-3 Tbsp. hemp hearts
2-4 Tbsp. cooked quinoa (I make one cup of quinoa and use it as a side dish also)
1 Tbsp. ground flaxseeds (grind these from whole flaxseeds in small amounts and keep in the refrigerator for daily use on porridge or salads)
1 scoop collagen powder (I recommend grass-fed)
2 Tbsp. coconut manna or almond butter
½ cup coconut milk or hot water
½ tsp. Cinnamon

I’m developing some new recipes to share with you. Here’s one you can use for breakfast or a snack, for those of you who can’t eat oats. For those who can, just replace the quinoa with gluten free oats. This is a low sugar recipe; feel free to add more honey to your taste. This was perfect for me as a mid-afternoon or after dinner snack that packs a lot of fiber, protein and fat. You can have one of these after dinner to help your digestion or take them along with you for a post-workout “pick-me-up."
Let me know what you think. Enjoy!”
Fermented foods are vital to health. The probiotic bacteria in fermented foods has been shown in studies to improve the health of the microbiome, boost the immune system, improve digestion, pain, inflammation and even sleep. Fermented foods are food as medicine.
So, as you may know, I come from Colombia where the mango vendors are on every street corner. Needless to say this dessert is a summertime favorite in our home. It's so easy to prepare, it's a recipe you'll want to share with your friends.
