Following on in our BOOST series, we have this brain boosting recipe that is all set to stimulate. Feeling mentally strong is just as important as feeling physically strong, so the correct nutrition is crucial to fuel ourselves. In this recipe, we've chosen blueberries, AKA absolute power fruit which obviously deliciously sweet, but are also packed full of antioxidants. Ever heard of cacao? No, not cocoa. Cacao is the raw form of cocoa before it has been processed which loses all its goodness. It is densely packed with antioxidants, magnesium and iron and can help to alleviate stress, anxiety and depression - a yummy go-to for brain boosting.
We’ve gone back to our favourite Luce Hosier from
What Luce Eats and created a vegan recipe full of antioxidants and adaptogenic powders that will make eating a chocolatey snack even more worthwhile. Trust us…
