You probably know, if you've followed for a while, that I am very interested in the effects of your digestive health on your mental health. How eating a diet high in fiber, fermented foods, high in protein, and keeping your microbiome happy really helps your brain and your mental health stay strong and stay happy. I find that absolutely to be the case.
I just wanted to show you what I'm having for breakfast this morning that is high in protein, fiber, and fermented products. These are my blackberry muffins, not really muffins, they're oat balls really I suppose. You're getting your protein and your fiber from your oats. You're getting your fiber and phytonutrients from your blackberries, which are in season at the moment so I'm going to go out with the dogs now and collect some more. You're getting your protein from your eggs and obviously your fermented yogurt, which, because it's sheep's yogurt, many people find easier to digest.
I just mix my dry ingredients, mix my wet ingredients. I honestly don't measure if it's too wet. I add more oats if it's too dry. I add more yogurt and then I put them into the air fryer for about 25 minutes. Again it will depend on the size of your balls but maybe another 25 minutes at 100, just based on the size of the ones I make. I like them kind of well cooked. You could actually eat them raw. I don't think they taste very nice raw so it'll depend on how well cooked you want your high energy balls to be. Everything to try and keep the old brain positive and full of energy
