This is one my favourite things to have for breakfast and if I'm telling the truth, I sometimes have this as a cheeky afternoon snack too. Cacao takes centre place, offering you a really hearty (yet healthy) chocolatey punch. The sweet acidity of the Goji berries helps bind the whole dish together and as a massive fan of shredded coconut, for me this really couldn't be a better way to start the day.
