Super Food Cereal

In my experience, the meal that seems to give folks the most problem, when eschewing grains and reducing their carbohydrate intake, is breakfast.

At first, especially if one has just been enlightened on the truth about saturated fat and cholesterol, eggs and bacon become a morning staple.

Then the novelty wears off and the need for variety creeps in.

Enter today's healthy recipe for Super Food Cereal, made with coconut flakes, sliced almonds, chia seeds, hemp seeds, cacao nibs, and wild blueberries.

Each of these ingredients are superstars when it comes to nutrient density and the nutrition they provide.

However, before I get to sharing this recipe, there is one caveat, while this recipe meets all my healthy requirements, grain-free, sugar-free, dairy-free and low-carb, it is also a “little” low in protein for my liking.

When it comes to having a healthy body composition, protein plays a very important role. It improves satiety, increases thermogenesis and ensures maintenance of lean body mass.

We can negate this and still enjoy the variety it brings to our morning meal, by making this the star and accompanying it with perhaps a side of homemade sausage or really any protein you prefer.
