Using quinoa flakes instead of more traditional oats this is a great mid-week breakfast option to prepare ahead of time. It will give you a nice dose of protein and omega-3 fats to kick start your day and the addition of LSA is great for digestive support, hormonal clearance and our magic “S” word – satiety!
Ingredients (Serves 2)
- 1/2 banana
- 200ml coconut cream
- 4 tablespoons quinoa flakes
- 2 teaspoons coconut flakes
- 2 tablespoon linseed, sunflower and almond meal (LSA)
- 60g hemp seed protein powder
- 2 tablespoons goji berries
- 1 tablespoon pepitas
- 2 teaspoons chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon organic vanilla extract
To serve:
- Unsweetened coconut milk, to taste
- 1/2 cup mixed berries
Method
- To a blender or food processor, add banana and coconut cream and blend until well combined.
- Transfer to a bowl or glass jar and add remaining ingredients. Stir well to ensure well combined and transfer to the fridge to soak overnight.
- Before serving stir through coconut milk and top with mixed berries.

Can you use hemp seeds instead of hemp seed protein powder?
Absolutely!
I made this recipe and diligently entered it into My Fitness Pal. One serve equates to 716 calories. The Ayam Brand Coconut Cream that I used was 286 cals per serve (@100 mls in 1 serve). Can this possibly be correct? After eating one serve of this, I feel like I have a lump of concrete in my stomach. I’m assuming I have made a mistake somewhere but have followed the ingredients to a T. What was your Macro / total calorie breakdown when designing this recipe? I must have done something wrong.
Not that I’m a fixated calorie counter but this morning’s breakfast definitely should not be repeated (said with a chuckle). I normally aim for 700 cals for brekky, so it’s not a complete disaster & if I had skipped the Bullet Coffee, it would have been OK.
TNN Bullet Coffee – 201 cals
60 g Blueberries – 35 cals
TNN Oatless Overnight Oats – 716 cals
Total – 953
We calculated each serve to be 580 calories. If it’s too filling you could save your MCT Coffee for later, or use 1/2 coconut cream and 1/2 UHT coconut milk such as PureHarvest CocoQuench. I hope that helps!
