I agree with others here that 30g of cacao is way too much. A heaped teaspoon (5-7g) is plenty. Also, 50g of nuts is OTT when you consider the calorie count. I would use either 30g of mixed nuts or 2 tablespoons of peanut butter, not both. Also, not nearly enough liquid. I used 100ml of kefir with 100g of 0% Fage yogurt, plus 70 ml of almond milk, and added frozen berries for more moisture. I don’t like coconut, so I swapped this for chia seeds. I only used 15 g of hemp seeds and added 15g of the Omega four seed mix from Forest Wholefoods to vary the fibre content. I was sure if turmeric would be too earthy, but it really works with the cinnamon and cacao. Overall, this is a good recipe with a few tweaks.

Way too much cacao for us. Will try it halved.

I was quite excited to try this – it looked great on paper! Having tried the recipe, I’m wondering whether some of the quantities are incorrect. I feel that there is way too much cocoa powder and the amount of liquid needs to be increased. It had a rather unpleasant mouth feel and it was difficult to eat the entire bowl full. Maybe it’ll work with some tweaking, but I won’t make that recipe again as it stands.

I’m wondering if I did something wrong, but I found this utterly inedible and terribly bitter. I was also stunned to calculate 731 calories for 29g of protein (and this was without the added berries, extra pumpkin seeds or yoghurt because the calorie count had already gotten so high). Also 54g of fat. I’m not a sweet tooth either; I eat plain yoghurt with berries and prefer coffee without sugar as well as very dark chocolate, so was expecting (hoping) to find a winner here.

Loved this recipe, a great breakfast and I’ve got more energy now. I have it with plain yogurt.
