I’m sure you needn’t be told that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Your body hasn’t eaten for eight hours or so and is begging for a nutrient, fibre rich breakfast to prepare you for whatever your ever-busy schedule of the day is.
With so many breakfast choices out there to consider (eggs, cereals, toast, porridge, muesli, pancakes…) it does get a little confusing. Especially seeing as a wide variety of products contain unnecessary amounts of processed sugar which isn’t quite the healthiest way to start the day. Luckily for us Kapai Puku have taken us under their wing and created what they claim to be “One of the highest fibre breakfast cereals available today” and can also help to “exfoliate and clean your intestinal tract, increase your metabolic rate, and suppress your appetite. It’s simple, unprocessed food – medicine the way Mother Nature intended.”
I’ve been testing out the “Naked Blend” which consists of buckwheat (which is a member of the rhubarb family, and it’s completely gluten-free, despite it’s name), sunflower kernels, sesame seeds, linseed(a fabulous source of omega-3 fatty acids), millet seeds, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds (one the richest plant based source of omega- 3, dietary fibre, protein and antioxidants), poppy seeds, rice bran and amaranth(a good source of all essential amino acids.) This delightful cereal is also 99% sugar free and gluten free.
Kapai Puku can be introduced to your diet in many ways – whether you choose to have it simply as a cereal, porridge (in place of oats), combined with your other breakfast cereals, used in baking, added to stir-fry’s, omelettes, salads… the list goes on. I’ve enjoyed including this in my daily eating routine – cleverly adding it to my morning muesli – and I can certainly say it is most fulfilling. With so many uses and health benefits, it’s definitely a worthy addition to anyone’s pantry.
