Sugar Free Chocolate Study Balls! 

In my opinion, there is a very significant correlation between studying and hunger. It seems that every time I sit at my desk with the motive to get an assessment finished or study for an upcoming exam, I receive uncontrollable urges to eat. Whilst I regularly try to combat this desire by drinking stupid amounts of tea, sometimes infused water just doesn't cut it!
SO I invented these little amazing balls of amazingness as the perfect study treat! 

Ingredients
1 x tbsp of sugar free drinking chocolate 
1 x cup of quick oats
1 x tbsp of shredded coconut 
2x tbsp of rice malt syrup (golden syrup works well too) 

Method
1. Place all the aforementioned ingredients together in a blender, food processor or vitamix!




2. Blend until dough becomes sticky (you may have to add some more syrup if mixture is stil a little dry)



3. roll into balls with your hands


4. refrigerate for at least 10 minutes!

Sundays are by far my favourite day of the week! 
As today was no exception, I decided to present it in a nutshell...

Breakfast
Ever since starting uni, Sunday Mornings have become synonymous with amazing breakfast. After a night out, waking up and going to a cute cafe for brunch has become one of my all time favourite traditions!
 However due to having a quiet night in with my best friend last night, I (un)fortunately woke up this morning quite energised and capable of  making my own.
This resulted in the colourful creation of delicious and nutritious oats! 


Monster Wholegrain oats with one tsp of golden syrup, cinnamon, strawberries and banana.
Beach
Despite being well into Autumn, Sydney was lucky to experience a beautiful 28 degrees day, thus making it imperative to visit the beach! 

Todays destination was the stunning Palm Beach in Sydneys North.  Whilst I could have literally taken photos of the scenery all day, I had to be social and control myself! 

Outfit: 
Todays outfit was simple, comfy and incorperated almost all my recent purchases! 


Black cropped shirt from Top Shop, Cheeky Denim shorts by Wrangler, Sunnies from Sportsgirl and white low-top Converse shoes!

Lunch
After a few hours of swimming and sunbaking, we stopped off at one of my favourite cafes in Avalon; Nourished Healthy Food Co. 
 For those of you who haven't been, it's basically a health-nuts dream as each and every meal is organic and totally clean.
This however, poses a major issue for the fickle-minded like myself, as it is almost impossible to decide what to order!

After much deliberation, I settled with the Protein Bowl and I was extremely satisfied with its protein-rich (and pretty) contents! 
Power Bowl- Asparigus, spinach, tomatoes, hard boiled organic eggs, avocado, ricotta, pesto and sourdough bread!


Fruity Juice- watermelon, apple, orange and pineapple!


Basically, whoever decided that Sundays should be the day of rest definitely deserves eternal gratification! 
Here's hoping the rest of the week is as good as today x
