I am a firm believer in the power of the mind-body connection. Any goal someone has when it comes to their health or weight loss plan first must begin in the mind. Once people believe in their own capabilities and remove limiting beliefs about themselves, this is when a breakthrough can happen. They are more likely to feel motivated and inspired to eat nutritiously and stick to their plan. The body has the innate ability to heal itself and will do so if it is provided with the proper foods and supplements when aligned with a positive mindset.
This delicious dessert could be eaten for breakfast. Loaded with quality fats and fibre with a dose of brain boosting properties from the blueberries. Top with vanilla ice cream or yogurt.
