Chia Seed Breakfast

Chia Seed Breakfast

Ingredients
2 tablespoons Chia Seeds
½ cup Water
Yoghurt (you decide how much you like)
Spices (you decide how much you like)


Method
Method for soaking Chia Seeds:
In a bowl, pour water over the seeds and let stand for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally so that it becomes a yummy jelly.

Here are my favourite combinations:
Cinnamon, Yoghurt, Banana & Honey
To the soaked seeds (jelly), add 1 ripe chopped banana, a good spoonful of yoghurt, a dash of fresh cream (if you like) and a good squeeze of honey.

Ginger, Mango, Yoghurt:
To the jelly add a bit of freshly grated ginger (remember to catch and add any ginger juice).
The chia seeds will soak up the liquid and take on the lovely fresh ginger flavour. Add to this mix, freshly chopped mango and a good blob of yoghurt.

Berries & Cream:
To the jelly add freshly chopped strawberries and blueberries. Add a good dash of cinnamon and finish off with a big swig of fresh cream.

Fruit & Chia Puree:
After soaking, I simply add the jelly to my blender and put in lots of the fruit I love.
A bit of ginger, cinnamon, anything you fancy really. Some ice in summer is good to provide a nutrient dense cool drink anytime of the day.
