Bullet proof coffee and edible flowers are on the menu at a new café which has opened in Norwich.

Nourish has opened in Grove Road, and is selling nutritiously-conscious meals, cakes and drinks.

Emma Risbey is the owner of the café, and wanted to bring something different to Norwich thanks to her background as a nutrition lecturer and athlete.

The Run Norwich 2017 winner wants to offer "something for everyone" on her entirely home-cooked menu.

Mrs Risbey explained: "As the name suggests, I wanted to have a menu that was really delicious but was also good for you."

Mrs Risbey has invested around £30,000 in setting up shop in the former Little Red Roaster site, and has already noticed particular customer favourites.

"Our berry pancakes are really popular," she said. "They're made with very-quality tofu so they have the American-style texture and don't taste like tofu, but are healthy."

The pancakes are topped with berry compote, cardamom butter and maple syrup, as well as a seasonal topping like edible flowers or stewed rhubarb.

She went on: "Our bullet proof coffee is also really popular. It's made with ghee which is a clarified butter, meaning that it's high in fat but that it releases energy really slowly throughout the day."

Mrs Risbey's husband Nathan is an Ironman athlete, so she has also created a dish that can fuel even the most intense workouts.

She said: "The Ironman energiser is a porridge made out of hemp seeds and then you can top it with bee pollen or goji berries.

"The idea for a café came off the back of running with friends. They would always come back to my house and I'd make meals like this in the winter or smoothies in the summer."

Mrs Risbey is already thinking about expansion, having been such a hit with customers after just two weeks of being open: "I'd like to do something more deli style. We buy all of our ingredients organically and locally, so I'd like to expand that way."
