Nona's Breakfast Booster!

Good Evening Readers!

As so many of us, and so many of my clients are seeking a healthier lifestyle in 2011, I thought I would share this super 'Breakfast Booster' recipe with you.

This recipe was devised by my mother-in-law. Lucinda, or Nona as she is known to the family, has worked all around the world as a chef (she currently resides in New Zealand). She has extensively studied the effects of diet on your health and wellbeing and has a treasury of wonderful recipes that she has devised. She has allowed me to share this super 'Breakfast Booster' with you and I hope to bring you more of her nutritious, delicious recipes in the future!

This recipe is perfect to get your metabolism kick-started in the morning, and especially great if you are undertaking any form of activity (e.g. Sound Fitness Team Training!). Packed with essential fatty acids, it also helps increase overall energy, vitality and stamina. (Flaxseed and linseed have countless nutritional benefits.)

I have taken the extract below directly from Nona's 'book':

Breakfast Booster

Use organic ingredients whenever possible
Seeds and grains to be freshly ground daily for maximum goodness and benefit but if you’re short of time you can grind a week’s worth and keep in an airtight container in the fridge. Must be raw and untreated.
2 dessertspoons live active yoghurt or soy yoghurt
2 tsp flax/linseed oil
½ very ripe banana
Juice of ½ lemon
1 tsp honey (not if you use fruit yog)
2 tsp seeds (sunflower, pumpkin, linseed ground finely)
2 tsp grains (millet, quinoa, oats ground finely)

Beat yoghurt and oil together with a fork, mash the banana in, add rest and mix together.
Add other fruit if desired

I hope you enjoy this recipe! If you try it, let us know how you enjoy it. We all think it's delicious in our household!
