To prepare this breakfast idea, mix all the ingredients together and soak overnight so its ready to serve in the morning. Chia seeds expand up to 17 times their original size. They’re a rather trendy food at the moment and can be eaten either sprinkled on top of food or as thickening agent by soaking them in the liquid ingredients like here. Use coconut milk/water or coconut cream for added indulgent taste.
WHAT YOU NEED:
¼ cup chia seeds
¼ cup desiccated coconut
1 can (400ml) coconut milk (or other milk) 1 cup of any ingredients you love to add from sweet to savoury – our favourites are banana & cinnamon, blueberries or stewed apples with cinnamon. You can also add a tablespoon of cocoa or one serve of protein powder.
HOW TO MAKE IT…
The seeds take at least a couple of hours to set and are best soaked overnight. We usually make up a larger batch of plain chia and keep in a container in the fridge and use up over the week (we usually have chia a couple of @mes a week). Then in the morning you can either cook the chia on the stove to thicken and heat and/or simply heat up and add in favourite flavours and enjoy
