Ok, I’ll admit it, I’ve been in a breakfast funk so I went searching for a new morning favorite. I keep hearing how great chia seed is for breakfast so I tried out a number of chia porridge recipes and now I’m obsessed. I took my favorite tastes from all the recipes I tried and created an easy, delicious and totally satisfying morning favorite. Once the ultimate energy food for ancient Mayans, chia seeds are considered a super food because they are loaded with nutrients, antioxidants, omega-3s, calcium and fiber. As for protein, chia is considered a complete protein since it contains all 8 essential amino acids which build strong healthy tissues. This recipe is versatile so feel free to top it with your favorite fruit, granola, shredded coconut and nuts.
