Simple and purely delicious, my
superfood muesli with lush summer
berries is my favourite breakfast at the
moment. Quick to prepare, you can even
make it in a jar or container and take it
with you when you set out to deliver
those early morning sessions. I love to
vary my base recipe between yoghurt,
coconut kefir and cashew cream, and
to this I add a spoonful of antioxidantrich Organic Superfood (available from
thehealthychef.com) which is packed
with 10 organic veggies and lush berry
fruits – including acai berry, beetroot,
kale, apple and broccoli sprout – that
helps to nourish my body for my busy
day. I top it simply with fresh berries or
other seasonal fruits and a scattering of
walnut for added omega 3.
What’s great about it?
Superfood Muesli
with Berries
Berries are loaded with antioxidants
and polyphenols to protect against
disease and inflammation and
promote optimum health and
vitality. Yoghurt and kefir is packed
with good bacteria that can help
protect your immune system as
well as support digestion. They
are also rich in quality protein
to support repair and recovery.
Healthy Chef Superfood adds
a boost of fruit and vegetables
that is rich in antioxidants and
anti-inflammatory compounds to
support optimum health. It also
works as a prebiotic in the gut
for healthy digestion and nutrient
absorption. Walnuts are a delicious
source of omega 3 EFA’s (essential
fatty acids) which promote good
health by lowering cholesterol
SUMMER
If there’s a fresher brekkie to wake up to this summer than one laden with
seasonal berries then we’ve yet to find it. Mind you, would it be so wrong to
start the day with a choccie biccie…?

levels, reducing high blood
pressure, improving symptoms
of arthritis, and improving mental
health (as the brain is 60 per cent
fat and needs omega 3 to function
properly). Walnuts are also high in
the amino acid tryptophan, which
helps to make serotonin – the ‘feelgood’ hormone!
