1. In a bowl mix together 400g/ 14oz coconut yoghurt, 100g/ 3.5oz blueberries and 1 tsp vanilla extract.

2. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Scoop 2 tbsp of yoghurt mixture out onto the tray in a circular dollop. Continue until all the mixture has been used, this should make 6 clusters.

3. Using a teaspoon, place a small dollop of the biscoff spread into the middle of each cluster (using 3 tbsp of biscoff spread).

4. Place in the freezer for 1 hour, until they are frozen enough that you are able to lift them off the tray.

5. Melt 200g/ 7oz of dark chocolate (I used 80% dark chocolate). Cover each cluster in chocolate until completely coated. Place back on the tray and freeze for another hour.

6. Remove from the freezer and allow them to melt slightly before you eat!

Antioxidants

These cluster bites contain one of our favourite superfoods, blueberries, which are full of antioxidants! Antioxidants do what they say, they work against oxidants! Oxidants are molecules produced internally within us and externally from the environment you are within. These molecules can react with other molecules in your body to damage them, leading to inflammation and disease. This is also known as oxidation. The main role of antioxidants is to stop this from occurring! Aside from reducing your risk of disease and illness, research has shown that consuming a diet rich in blueberries can slow the ageing process, improve the health of your skin and hair and increase recovery efforts after exercise. Intense training results in oxidative stress, which isn’t a bad thing, as long as we offset this with antioxidants, as they help repair the tissue damage after exercise, making this an ideal sweet treat for after your workout!
