Chocolate, Peanut Butter & Goji Berry Porridge

Chocolate for breakfast, why not!

​Did you know adding raw cacao to your breakfast can help set you off on the right foot? 
How?  
Raw cacao still contains its nutrients, one being magnesium; ensuring a healthy nerve system & sense of calm throughout the body. 
Brilliant, right?!
Porridge is also a fabulous way to 'get you going,' with the oats providing low GI energy to keep you feeling full and energised till lunch.
