These textures were mind blowing. I didn’t know what my life was until I had experienced this level of cloudesque mousse, three different kinds of gooey coming from the peanut butter, berries and banana and the satisfying crunch and chew of the granola. No, there’s no sugar, yes it absolutely appropriate for both breakfast or dessert.

Ingredients:
For the mousse (To be whipped up the night before):
- 1 tbsp cacao powder
- 15g collagen
- 20ml milk of your choice
- 1/2 tsp honey raw honey (optional)
- Simply shake up in a jar and leave in the fridge for 8 hours or store for up to 3 days.
The rest of the bowl:
- 1/4 cup granola of your choice (I look for no added sugar or sulphites, local and at least a 4/5 for chewiness).
- 1 tsp peanut butter
- handful of berries
- 1/2 chopped banana
- dash of milk of your choice to reflect your preference of crunchy over slurpy
- 1tsp cinnamon (optional)
- dash of salt
Method:
- Make your mousse the night before by combining all ingredients in a jar, giving it a good shake and leaving to set over night. So simple!
- The next morning, all you need to do put the above ingredients together in a bowl and enjoy mindfully, taking care to chew properly and without social media distractions to better experience the flavours and avoid bloating.
Date idea? Invite a friend over for a workout or run and whip the bowl up together after! This bowl also travels pretty well in a lunch box if you are planning some hiking! Remember the importance of connection. Live the good life in the real world.
