BEAR'S MIDNIGHT BOOTY CALL

BEAR'S MIDNIGHT BOOTY CALL

What? You've managed to miss your main meal? How??? Well, I got sidetracked installing some software that proved to be very troublesome, to say the least! When I realized the time, I popped out to my local 24-hour supermarket and got chatting with a friend (I need a disguise or visit another supermarket where I'm not known).

Once my conversation had finished it became clear that I wasn't going to cook at this time or night. It's nearly 01:00 in the morning. So, once I got home, I had to quickly put together something to eat that's not too heavy; it's so unhealthy to eat dinner before sleeping. It's bad news.

Here's how I satisfied myself…

INGREDIENTS

1 Prune can (200g)

A packet/bag of oats

A tub of coconut yogurt

A packet/box of desiccated coconut

Light Maple syrup

Vanilla essence

Cinnamon

THE METHODOLOGY

Place about roughly 4 tablespoons of desiccated coconut in a cereal bowl as in the picture above.

Top the desiccated coconut with oats; that's about 4 tablespoons worth of oats in the picture above.

Top with another 4 tablespoons of desiccated coconut!

Add cinnamon to taste; I love cinnamon! Mmmmm…

Open the prune can and drain the juice into the desiccated coconut and oats; stir the juice in. Don't worry if the overall mix is dry…

Add the coconut yogurt - finish the tub if you, like me, used about half of it in my Coconut Cream Butter Bean Dream recipe. It's all too easy to forget to use the rest of the yogurt, by the time you remember, the yogurt will be teaming with life.

When you mix in the coconut yogurt, it'll be moist but firm.

Add all of the prunes on top of the sensual mixture, drizzle about half a tablespoon of light Maple syrup around the bowl and add a couple of vanilla essence splashes on the oats and desiccated coconut.

I was careful not to let the vanilla essence and the Maple syrup hit the prunes as it would spoil the taste sensation. The idea is to get waves of taste infusions, the oats, coconut, vanilla, light Maple syrup, prunes, and cinnamon. Oooooh, that certainly hit the spot!

To finish it off, I sprinkled a bit of cinnamon on top for both decoration and taste. Cinnamon complements the prunes (and most other dried fruit).

And there you have it! It's a bit naughty and it's certainly nice! It's not like you're gonna wake up the next morning and discover your pants don't fit. It's better than giving into a quick fix of processed cereal that can contain milk and refined sugars (in the form of corn syrup). Yuck! Light Maple syrup is healthier! Well, you're controlling the amount of sweetness, whereas the sugar content in most cereal boxes is hidden, and, before you know it, you feel like another bowl to get one more sugar rush. And, if you, like me, have a sweet tooth, the horrid cereal could end up being consumed habitually! Don't do it! The weight will certainly pile on! Throw the old boxes of cereal out! If you have a child or children, this could be difficult. I would like to know how you, as a Vegan parent or parents, weaned your child or children off these horrid cereals! HOW??? Who had the misfortune to remember the sickly, yet addictive taste of Frosties? Diabetes in a box!

The Midnight Booty Call is a one-off! It also makes for a great dessert after dinner. What I love about the Midnight Booty Call is that it makes me feel sated. At this moment in time, after eating it, I am not thinking, “Let me make this tomorrow and the day after…” For me, the Midnight Booty Call is like one of those meal replacement shakes. I should have eaten properly and I did not. Shame on me!

I called this dish a “Midnight Booty Call” for what should be obvious reasons. In out, far out… It's all good! Ha ha! Oh, one more thing... If you want to make the most out of Tech then check out Synapse Circuit for Tech Reviews!
