I think you're all much to aware of my infatuation with breakfast. I don't care if it's 7am in the morning and everyone is asleep- if I wanna have mah smoothie, imma make that smoothie and I don't give damn if the blender wakes you up. Haha lol jks, I DO CARE MUM AND DAD and that has nothing to do with the fact that i need to top up my myki and ten dollars would be nice- but I'm speaking in a hypothetical sense of course... My breakfasts have tasted mighty fine lately thanks to Natural convenience who create delicious and healthy products and I was fortunate enough to be given the opportunity to be an article writer for their blog! If you're interested in giving the articles I wrote a read, they can be found on their blog which can be found here and if you want to try their amazing products, their website can be found here. Here's the products I tried feat. some hefty breakfast food porn...
Seedy Raw Burst
This contained a yummy combination of raw seeds (peptic sunflower, chia, flax and sesame seeds) and was super crunchy, being the perfect topping for many dishes. It complimented my porridge, giving it a crunchy flavour boost and could also work really well with salads, smoothies, veggies and so much more!

Choc Hazelnut Spread
This was a versatile and delicious chocolate spread. Not going to lie, I could eat this by the barrelful. Although it did take a while for it to make (because my blender was broken and I used my food processor). But other than the painstakingly, long waiting to finally finish making it (because I was so keen on giving it a try), it turned out really yummy and was the perfect spread to complement my breakfast. Whether it’d be on toast, in a sweet breakfast wrap or even in a crepe, this spread it sure to give nutella a run for it’s money.

Fruity Granola Goodness
Holy moly, mother of pearl this tasted amazing! I can't even... can we just... I think I need a moment to even comprehend on how good it tasted! It features assorted nuts, seeds and buckwheat and were complimented by coconut oil and and the rice malt syrup which added just the right amount of sweetness to the granola. The granola was nice and crunchy and was the perfect addition to my breakfast. Check out the granola and fruit overnight oat parfait I made...
