Breakfast is my favourite meal of the day, and yes I'm going to throw in the old wives tale.. it is very important! It gets your digestion moving, it provides you with the bulk of your energy for the day and most of all it can help set and create your mood for the rest of your hours!
So why not treat, nourish and tantalise your taste buds from the get go? It's always good when you can add a little veggies to start your day, combined with good complex carbs for lasting energy, combined with a complete plant based protein, this meal covers all nutritional bases!
Make in bulk to last you for the week! A great meal for kids or any age in that matter! Tasty, nourishing and naturally wholesome.

1 cup chopped nuts
2 tbsp date paste or 1 tbsp maple
Method:
- Prep ingredients as directed

- Serve with a topping of coconut yoghurt, and a sprinkle of activated nuts and seeds for extra protein!
