CHIA PORRIDGE

I LOVE this recipe. Chia pudding is a delight but can often feel sloppy or like it didn’t quite hit the spot. Have you ever tried chia gently heated so that it’s more like porridge? Delicious, comfort food, filling but doesn’t cause bloating!

RECIPE

INGREDIENTS

Makes enough servings for the whole family, or store it in the fridge for the week days before work.

¼ cup chia seeds

½ tin coconut milk

2-3 cups water

½ tsp matcha powder, maca or lucuma

smashed raspberries/strawberries

1 tbsp honey or maple syrup

Optional: desiccated coconut or coconut flakes

METHOD

1. Soak chia in coconut milk and ½ cup water for 15 minutes in pan, then add flavourings.

2. Gently stir over heat until warmed through, no need to boil. Add extra water to desired consistency.

3. Sprinkle with granola, rose petals, coconut, berries, as you wish!
