For the Overnight Recipe (Per Serving):

• Fresh berries (optional, for topping)

• 1 serve collagen powder (optional, for extra protein boost)

Instructions:

Step 1: Make the Dry Breakfast Blend (Prep Ahead)

1. Combine all ingredients for the dry breakfast blend in a large bowl: buckwheat, raw nuts, desiccated coconut, goji berries (or Inka berries), salt, collagen powder, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, hemp seeds, chia seeds, and cinnamon.

2. Mix thoroughly to ensure everything is evenly distributed.

3. Store the mixture in an airtight mason jar or container. This blend will keep for up to a week in your cupboard.

Step 2: Prepare the Beetroot 'Mulch' (Optional)

1. Grate the beetroot and green apple into a bowl.

2. Add PHGG (optional) to support gut health, and stir to combine.

3. Mix in the yogurt (goat’s yogurt, kefir, or coconut yogurt) until the mixture becomes creamy.

4. Sprinkle with cinnamon and stir again. Set aside in the fridge or store in a container for up to 3 days.

Step 3: Assemble the Overnight Recipe (For One Serving)

1. Combine 1/2 cup of the dry breakfast blend with 1/2 cup of full-fat yogurt (goat’s, sheep’s, or cow’s) or coconut yogurt in a bowl or jar.

2. Add a dash of honey or maple syrup if you want a little extra sweetness.

3. Stir well to mix all the ingredients together, ensuring that the dry ingredients are fully coated with yogurt.

4. Refrigerate overnight for at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight (8 hours) to allow the chia seeds and other grains to absorb the liquid and soften.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

1. The next morning, stir the mixture again to make sure everything is well combined.

2. Top with the beetroot 'mulch' for an added digestive boost and vibrant color.

3. Add fresh berries (or other fruit of choice) on top for extra flavor and nutrients.

4. If desired, add a scoop of collagen powder for extra protein.

5. Enjoy immediately for a nourishing, gut-supporting breakfast!

Storage & Tips:

• Batch Prep: The dry breakfast blend can be made in large batches and stored in an airtight container for up to a week. Prepare 3-4 servings at a time for a super convenient breakfast throughout the week.

• Collagen Powder: Adding collagen powder boosts the protein content and supports skin, joints, and gut health. You can add a scoop either to the dry blend or stir it in the night before along with the yogurt.

• Texture Adjustments: If you prefer a more liquid consistency, feel free to add a splash of milk (almond, oat, or regular milk) to the overnight mix before refrigerating.

Why This Breakfast Supports Digestion:

• Buckwheat: A great source of fiber, which helps promote regular bowel movements and gut health.

• Chia Seeds & Hemp Seeds: Both are rich in fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, which support gut function and reduce inflammation.

• Goji Berries & Inka Berries: Packed with antioxidants and vitamins, they help combat inflammation in the digestive tract.

• Collagen Powder: Supports gut lining health and digestion, while providing a boost of protein.

• Cinnamon & Beetroot: These ingredients have anti-inflammatory properties and can help regulate blood sugar levels, which is beneficial for digestive balance.

This nutritious, fiber-packed breakfast will keep you energized and nourished, while also supporting a healthy gut and digestive system. Perfect for busy mornings when you want a healthy start without the prep time!
