Mineral-Rich Chocolate Porridge
This breakfast porridge is both delicious AND energy-sustaining AND metabolism-boosting! Al-round good news! Cacao is ultra-rich in minerals as well as properties which increase our metabolic rate, thus helping our bodies to burn up excess fat. The oats sustain our energy for many hours and the spices are not only also full of metabolism-boosting properties, they are also great at encouraging a healthy and balanced digestive system. The nuts and seeds are packed full of Vitamin E (the nuts) and Omega Three in the seeds, thus providing antioxidants and longevity-encouraging nutrients. This is therefore an all-round great breakfast to set you up for the day ahead.
