Let’s cook!
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- ½ cup milk of choice (dairy, almond, oat, coconut—whatever you prefer!)
I like to make a large batch at the beginning of the week, 8 tbs of chia seeds + 2 cups of milk, it lasts me the week!
Instructions:
- In a bowl or jar, mix the chia seeds and milk together.
- Stir well to ensure the seeds don’t clump together.
- Let it sit for 5 minutes, then give it another stir.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight for the best consistency!).
- Stir once more before serving, and get creative with your toppings!
Topping Ideas:
- Berries – Packed with antioxidants!
- Banana – A great source of natural sweetness and potassium
- Granola – Adds crunch!
- Nut butter – Healthy fats for sustained energy and a boost of protein
- Honey –For a touch of sweetness
- Cocoa nibs – For a hint of chocolate and antioxidants
- Nuts – Extra crunch, protein, and healthy fats
