Monday Monday!

Do you find it hard to get out of bed on a Monday? or is that just me? It’s not like I went to bed any later (I don’t think) or that I did anything over the weekend to wear me out, but this morning I just couldn’t open my eyes, couldn’t take that first step out from under my warm duvet, couldn’t even open my eyes enough to check my emails (on my phone while I’m waking up!) and then I wondered if it was a Monday thing! 😛 I’m sure most days (especially when it’s still dark outside and cold too) I get up with more ‘get up’! The rest of the week just follows really, but Monday! After a weekend of rest and relaxing, suddenly we’re asking our bodies to work all day, concentrate and do much more that it’s had to for a few days! Then… I remembered the cookies! 🙂 🙂 🙂 Well, if there’s a thing to entice me to crawl out of bed it’s that breakfast is waiting! Yes… nothing wrong with ‘healthy’ cookies for breakfast! These are full of protein, vitamins particularly vitamin A (loads of vitamin A in these)! which is great for healthy eyes and vision as well as maintaining the immune system (mine’s already under attack so hopefully these will help)! and a whole host of other vitamins, antioxidants and minerals! Quick and easy to make these are lovely little bundles of goodness… disguised as cookies! 😛 🙂

Gather

200g sweet potato baked
200g porridge oats
20g coconut sugar
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon cinnamon
—————————–
10g coconut oil
5g agave
10g cacao powder

Prepare

Ensure the potato is mashed well to make it smooth.
Blitz the oats and add to the potato. Mix until you have small crumbs.
Rub in the sugar, nutmeg and cinnamon.
Roll into small balls and flatten slightly with the palm of your hand (you can eat this it’s yummy)! 😛
