The Brain Bowl

A high-fibre, high-fat snack designed to keep your brain and energy stable

This is one of my go-to afternoon snacks when I want something filling, nourishing and genuinely satisfying.

My 'brain bowl' is packed with fibre, healthy fats and antioxidants, which makes it great for steady energy and focus throughout the afternoon.

It also comes together in minutes and feels more like dessert than a “healthy snack”.

Ingredients

• 3 tbsp coconut yoghurt

• 1 tbsp psyllium husk

• 2 tbsp chia seeds

• Frozen raspberries

• Coconut flakes

• Bee pollen

• Peanut butter or almond butter

• Hemp seeds

Method

1. Add coconut yoghurt, psyllium husk and chia seeds to a bowl.

2. Mix well until a pudding-like texture forms.

3. If the mixture is too thick, add a small splash of water and stir.

4. Top with frozen raspberries, hemp seeds, bee pollen and coconut flakes.

5. Finish with a generous spoon of peanut butter or almond butter.
