Breakfast to fill you with Energy!

Ever since, I cut out gluten from my diet I immediately felt a difference, less bloated, more energy and my blood sugar levels seemed to remain stabile. I have inherited low blood pressure and with that low blood sugar levels. That is to say when I don't eat after a certain amount of time I don't only get hungry I also change moods very quickly. I notice this gets worse when I have sugar as well so when I cut that out as well I noticed a huge difference in my weight and my mood. Why have I waited so long to do this?? Eat properly.

Better late than never.

Now I am a morning person. I can spring out of bed at 6 am and moan and groan for 5 minutes and then have a jog in the park. This is because I am not a night person and fall sleep at 10 pm. Ha!

Naturally, breakfast is something I have learned to love. The first meal. I usually don't like to cook too much so I stick to Greek yoghurt, but if you are lactose sensitive, I have a another good one for you!

Jo's Power Breakfast - this will keep you going till Lunch

Ingredients

100 g greek yoghurt (or less)
1 Tbs chia seeds
10 raspberries - cut in halves
A few Blueberries
Favourite Gluten Free Muesli - I am going to make my own this weekend but I use Nairns Muesli which is amazing! Rolled Oats work but make sure they are NOT contaminated with Gluten (it will say on the back of the pack)

Method

Mix the Chia in with the yoghurt and let sit for at least 10 mins. The more the better as they swell, and thats how to activate them. Then just mix the rest of the muesli in and add the fruit. Naturally you can use any fruit you have! The trick is to eat as slowly as possible. Sounds utterly ridiculous but if you are the type that rushes breakfast, stop! Every meal should be eaten oven a 30 min period. The more you chew the more nutrients are released. Rather mix the chia and yoghurt the night before if you can.

Muesli, cup of hot water and lemon and my Beauty Food Drink and you are set!

Here is an option for Lactose Intolerant people and something I am new to myself.

Chia Porridge

2 Tbs Chia Seeds
1 Cup Almond/Rice/Oat Milk

Just combine the two the night before and refrigerate! Enjoy with any fruit you have at home. I like it with half a banana. Its that easy and that good. The Chia forms a sort of jelly like consistency, but if you can get over that I recommend it. This is brimmed to the top of fibre, and omega 3 content. Who knew!?

Good Morning Everyone!
