Date and Oat Crumbles

 So I have had requests for the recipe for these Date and Oat crumbles, so I thought I would speed up this blog post so you can start baking them!

                   

These are so delicious and the texture of the crumbly oats and the gooey date centre is so yummy! Sweet but not sickly. They are the perfect energy boost for a snack or post workout for example. You could even eat these beauties for breakfast as the oats would give you a good slow release of energy throughout the morning! 

Keep them airtight and they will last a few days or freeze them in squares for when you want a sweet treat.

Here is the recipe!

Rice Porridge

I have been looking for a new breakfast that I can have that is gluten and refined sugar free, filling, nutritious and something different. Enter Rice Porridge! 
The best thing is with this breakfast is that you prep it the night before (which takes 5 minutes) and it is slow cooked all night so is ready and waiting for you in the morning whenever you are ready! What’s not to love about that!?

The only thing you need for this (apart from the ingredients) is a slow cooker. They are so useful for us busy people that can prepare 6-11 hours before you want it (timings depending on the recipe) and don’t require you standing over a hob for an hour a day.

I love this creamy rice porridge so much, it is basically having healthy rice pudding for breakfast!

Powders and Spices for Optimum Health

I think it is so important to add additional nutrients, vitamins and minerals in your daily routine. 

Mainly these do come from the meals we eat for example sweet potato which is so rich in Vitamin A as well as high in Vitamin B-6 , magnesium and potassium. But these powders are the nutritions and minerals in their most raw and potent form that will aid the bodies functions to perform and live to our best!

After adding these in my, already healthy diet, I have more energy and am able to keep healthy at optimum level (AKA no sick days needed from work- Literally!)

Dont stress about adding all of these straight away because it might not be what your body needs. Read below the benefits of each powder and if you feel like you could improve that area of your health then try it out! Small changes do make a big difference.
