180 Ambassador – Angeline Norton: This dish is the ideal dessert for a winters night as its the perfect comfort food during the chilly weather. Normally eating a raw apple can make feel a little bloated but by slowing cooking it, it’s makes it more digestible and breaks down the pectin.
Blueberries are full of antioxidants and also I leave the skin on the organic apples to increase the fibre and offset the natural sugars in the apples. This dish is also perfect as a snack with a lots of protein from the almond meal and good fats from the butter and coconut yogurt.
