Notes
This breakfast is packed with nutrients, antioxidants and fibre, making it the perfect start to any day. Butterfly pea flower powder is known for its intense blue colour, due to the anthocyanins, and this, in combination with the berries and high omega 3 content in the seeds, provides a healthy, inflammatory bowl of goodness that will keep you satiated until lunch.
This bowl supplies almost a third of all the micronutrients needed daily. More specifically it is high in the amino acids tryptophan & tyrosine, vitamins B6, B12, D, folate and magnesium, all vital for neurotransmitter (such as serotonin and dopamine) formation, so enjoy a delicious dish that feeds your nervous system and keeps your brain healthy.
Chia seeds contain all 9 essential amino acids, thus this is nutrition dense suitable for vegetarian diets. In order to convert this dish into a keto friendly bowl, cut the maple syrup.
