That's why we present to you a recipe for one of the most effective and simple breakfasts that can help cleanse your colon, improve metabolism, regulate digestion, and, you won't believe it, lose up to 5 kilograms in just a few weeks. And all this without starving or following strict diets.
What does this super breakfast contain?
To prepare, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 5 to 7 prunes
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
- 2 teaspoons oat flakes
- 250 ml kefir
Preparation:
Place the prunes in a cup and pour boiling water over them. Let them soak for about 10 minutes. In another container, mix oat flakes, ground flax, cocoa, and kefir. Blend (or chop) the soaked prunes and add them to the mixture. Mix everything well and place it in the refrigerator overnight.
In the morning, simply consume this mixture – no cooking, no additives, no complications.
Why does this breakfast work?
Let's see how each ingredient contributes to the health of your body – all confirmed by scientific research.
- Prunes – a natural digestion enhancer
Prunes are considered one of the best natural laxatives. In a study published in Alimentary Pharmacology and Therapeutics, it was shown that regular consumption of prunes improves bowel movements and stool consistency. One medium-sized prune contains about 1 gram of dietary fiber, in addition to sorbitol – a sugar alcohol that helps soften stools.
One serving (about 6 prunes) contains 6 grams of fiber – a quarter of the daily recommended amount.
- Kefir – the king of probiotic foods
Kefir is fermented milk that contains more than 30 different probiotic bacteria and yeasts. These microorganisms are needed for a healthy gut. According to Healthline, the probiotics in kefir help regulate digestion, reduce constipation, promote the growth of healthy bacteria in the gut, and even alleviate symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome.
One cup of kefir contains about 100 calories and 8–11 grams of protein, which also helps with satiety.
- Oat flakes – cleansing fibers
Oat flakes are an excellent source of soluble fibers, mainly beta-glucans. These fibers create a gel in the intestines that acts like a "broom" – cleaning food residues, reducing bad cholesterol levels, and helping regulate blood sugar.
40 grams of oat flakes contain 4 grams of fiber, which is a great start to the day.
- Flaxseed – tiny grainy stars
Flaxseed contains two types of fibers (soluble and insoluble), significant omega-3 fatty acids, and lignans – plant substances with antioxidant properties. Insoluble fibers speed up food passage through the intestines, while soluble fibers help regulate blood sugar.
One tablespoon of ground flax contains more than 2 grams of fiber and plenty of beneficial fats.
- Cocoa – a sweet assistant in detoxification
No, you're not mistaken – even cocoa has its place in a healthy breakfast. Raw cocoa contains a vast amount of antioxidants, especially flavonoids, which help reduce inflammation in the body and improve blood circulation. Additionally, it also boosts serotonin levels – the happiness hormone.
One tablespoon of cocoa contains only 12 calories and almost no sugar – an ideal substitute for sweet chocolate creams.
What do studies say?
A 2015 study (PubMed) showed that regular kefir consumption improves digestive system function and reduces bloating in more than 80% of people with sensitive stomachs.
Data from The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition indicates that consuming oat flakes can reduce LDL cholesterol levels by 5 to 10% in a few weeks.
The Mayo Clinic emphasizes that flaxseed is beneficial not only for the intestines but also for heart health and weight management.
Prunes have surpassed some laxatives in several studies as they contain sorbitol and fibers, which act entirely naturally and without side effects.
How quickly can you notice results?
Most people who consume this breakfast daily report improved digestion within three days. Bloating decreases, bowel movements become more regular, and overall well-being improves. If you include this meal in your daily routine for at least three weeks, you can easily lose between 3 and 5 kilograms – of course, with moderate eating throughout the day.
Another reason to try it...
In addition to cleansing your body, you'll also notice clearer skin, fewer pimples, more energy, and even better concentration. Why? Because a healthy gut means healthy brains – this is known as the gut-brain connection. More than 90% of the happiness hormone serotonin is actually produced in the gut.
In summary – why is this breakfast ideal for you?
- Speeds up digestion and reduces constipation.
- Aids in weight loss without hunger.
- Cleanses the body of toxins and improves skin.
- Contains over 10 grams of fiber per serving.
- Prepares in less than 5 minutes.
If you have doubted the power of breakfast so far – now you know how much of a difference one cup of right food can make. We invite you to start your day with this miraculous meal. Your body will thank you!
