Chia Breakfast
Chia Seeds are very nutritious and can be used in a variety of ways, it can be blended in smoothies, dehydrated into cracker recipes, or it can be soaked and eaten as is. Chia Seeds are low glycemic, helps to reduce cholestral, good for the thyroid, has lots of fiber and assists in digestion.
Here is the recipe I created but you can google lots of Chia Seed recipes.
1 oz Chia Seeds
1 teaspoon Coconut Sugar
1 teaspoon Carob
1 teaspoon Maca Powder
a dash of salt
a dash of powdered Vanilla
a dash of Cinnamon
1 tablespoon Goji Berries
Mix the dry ingredients and then add water. Typically about a 7-to 1 ratio of water to Chia Seeds. Let soak overnight. It will gelatinize overnight and have a consistency of oatmeal in the morning. It will have a mild sweet taste you could add more or less sweteener depending on need or taste.
In the morning I topped with:
Blend:
1 Orange leaving as much of the white pith as possible to make use of its bioflavonoids
2 tablespoons of Goji Berries.
Pouring blended mix onto the dish then garnish with un-sweetned dry coconut.
Yum, yum delicious and so easy to make!
This made about a one and half servings so I will come back and revise, you get the idea now!
NOTE: You can use any variant or ingredients you choose. The important things is a a 7-1 ratio.
Naturally I used all Organic and Raw ingredients, but use any ingredients to get started! I found Chia Seeds locally in Bulk food bins as well as packaged.
Sounds yummy and I can't wait to try some!
