Body Blender Breakfast
2 dessertspoons porridge oats
1 dessertspoon wheat germ
3 semi-dried prunes
1 teaspoon ground flaxseeds
1 dessertspoon lecithin granules
Sprinkle of nutmeg (or cinnamon if you prefer)
2 tsp pumpkin seeds
½ apple or pear, chopped, or a few strawberries
Place the oats, wheat germ, prunes, ground flaxseeds, lecithin and nutmeg in a measuring jug and top up to 200ml (7fl oz) with boiling water. Leave to soak for at least 20 minutes. Now may be a good time to take a shower or bath.
It’s a good idea to prepare to this stage when you are making your Body Cleanse Elixir Drink. Alternatively, you can prepare this the night before.
After 20 minutes the mixture should be quite thick. Pour into a blender. Rinse out the measuring jug with a further 100ml (3fl oz) of hot water to mop up any leftover nutrients and add to the mixture in the blender. Blend for 60 seconds or until smooth.
Pour into a bowl, sprinkle with the pumpkin seeds and fruit. Add more warm water if you want a runnier consistency.
Eat while warm as it’s easier to digest and more satisfying. Enjoy!

Sanity Snack
Makes 8
8 walnut halves
1 dessertspoon almond butter
1 dessertspoon pure fruit spread (I use Sunwheel pear and prune)
1 dessertspoon lecithin
1 tsp ground flaxseeds
1 dried fig, roughly chopped
3 dried dates, roughly chopped
Good-quality 70 per cent dark cocoa powder for dusting
In a small blender, first chop the walnuts until small. Then add all the remaining ingredients, apart from the cocoa powder, and mix. After about 30 seconds the mixture should form a sticky ball. If the ingredients aren’t combining well, stop and stir it, then switch the mixer on again for a short blast. Take the ball out of the mixer and divide it into eight equal portions. Using your hands, make each portion into a small ball, then roll each ball in the cocoa powder to dust the outside. Leave in the fridge to chill for at least 30 minutes. These last for four days.
