By gosh and golly, have you tried the Nutty Cocoa Bircher from M&S?
Well it's swiftly becoming my favourite indulgence when on the run. So I took a gander at the ingredients and thought instead of spending my hard earned pennies each time, why not just make a version of my own, freeze it and take it on my jaunts in tupper ware/tupperware (is it one word? who knows) instead of buying it each time.
Ground breaking!
Aren't I clever.
And the bonus is it's pretty healthy really. It feels like you're being naughty and having a chocolatey bit of heaven, but it's packed with natural sugars, nuts, chia & oats for energy, apple to keep the doctors away and natural yog to keep your bones strong and gut happy!
I've added in a few little extras too for personal taste :)
PS I didn't eat the Viola. That were to make me picturrr look pretty weren't it!
What you'll need//
500g fat free natural yogurt
2 apples (cored & grated)
2 tbsp cacao or cocoa powder
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp molasses (optional)
100g oats
4 tbsp chia seeds
4 tbsp dessicated coconut
To sprinkle on top//
chopped cashew nuts
cacao nibs
blueberries
coconut flakes
Makes approx 6 portions (you don't need much it's quite filling)
What to do//
In a small bowl mix together your honey, molasses and cocoa powder.
In a large bowl mix all your other ingredients and stir in the honey mixture.
DONE!
Cling film and refrigerate or freeze in batches and munch away as and when.
Sprinkle over your cashews, blueberries, cacao nibs and coconut or any other personal faves. Why not try it with chopped banana and a dollop of peanut butter or pistachios and raspberries!
Yummm.
Enjoy lovely friends :)
