Awesome Breakfast for Body Yoga Berwick Students
This is an awesome cooked breakfast created in Naomi’s Kitchen! All fresh, organic produce can be sourced from GreenSoul Organics
It could be a delightful weekend breakfast or even a nutritious lunch or light dinner – perfect for all health conscious Body Yoga Berwick students!
Cook red onions in a large frypan until they start to caramelise then add whole mushrooms. Cook with the lid on to create mushroom juice. When partly cooked add 1 x Roma tomato (halved per person) into same frypan. Sprinkle Herbamare – A.Vogel (available from GreenSoul Organics) over mushrooms, onions and tomatoes. You may also like to add a sprinkle of Oregano on the tomatoes. When nearly cooked remove the lid to dry off mushroom juice.
To Assemble:
Place a good hand full of rocket on your plate then spoon the cooked mushroom, onion and tomato mix over the top. Add a slice of toasted Sprouted Spelt Bread to the plate and enjoy. All ingredients are of course ORGANIC!
Optional : Add roasted capsicums with home made ginger carrots and a slice of avocado.
Tip: Roast capsicums can be prepared earlier, sliced and frozen for later use. Home made ginger carrots can be replaced with any other fermented veggie or even home made Sauerkraut
Cacao Brownies
Ingredients
1 cup walnuts (unsoaked)
1 – 1.5 cups dates (pitted unsoaked)
1/4 cup raw cacao powder
Preparation
Place in food processor and blend until well blended (about 30 seconds) – should still be dry and chunky.The dates are the binding ingredient, and some are moister than others, so start with 1 cup and if the mixture is still very loose, add extra dates until it begins to bind. Press into a small spring form pan. Refrigerate until you can insert a knife and it isn’t too sticky. Cut into little pieces, then pop into a zip lock bag and freeze. They can be eaten fresh, from the fridge or from the freezer.
