Chia pudding breakfast bowl
If you follow us on social media you will know that as a Personal Trainer working in a private studio, I need to prep all my food ahead and take with me. The chia pudding mixture is very quick and easy to prepare for 3 breakfasts in one go and keeps in the fridge for 2-3 days. Chia seeds contain some protein and are rich in fibre to keep you full longer! This is such a versatile breakfast. Any fresh or frozen fruit can be used!
ingredients
makes 3 breakfast bowls
1/2 cup chia seeds
1 tablespoon maple syrup
420ml hazelnut milk (or milk of choice)
Low sugar granola or plain oats
Berries of choice / season
Flaked roasted almonds or coconut
Shelled hemp seeds
method
In a medium bowl add the chia seeds, almond milk and maple syrup and whisk well.
Leave to stand for about 30 minutes. Whisk every 10 mins. The mixture should thicken as the seeds absorb the liquid.
In 3 breakfast bowls or jars, split the chia seed pudding as first layer.
Add all other chosen toppings as you please.
Store in the fridge overnight.
In the morning, I will often add a spoonful of almond butter.
If layered in jam jars, these will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Be creative and play with the flavours, fruits and texture!
the health boost tip
If using frozen fruit, thaw prior to layering or as I love to do, warm them up as well (in a pan or microwave) to form a jam like layer!
Chia seeds are a great source of plant protein to keep you full for longer.
