Toppings

Method

Preparing the Porridge

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium-sized bowl, combine the chia seeds, almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed in the liquid.

  2. 2

    Let it Sit

    Cover the bowl and let it sit for about 5 minutes. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and expand.

  3. 3

    Stir Again

    After 5 minutes, stir the mixture again to break up any clumps of chia seeds that may have formed.

  4. 4

    Refrigerate

    Cover the bowl again and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or preferably overnight, to achieve a thick, pudding-like consistency.

Assembling the Bowl

  1. 5

    Prepare Toppings

    While the porridge is setting, slice the banana and gather the blueberries, sliced almonds, and coconut flakes.

  2. 6

    Serve the Porridge

    Once the chia porridge has thickened, scoop an appropriate amount into a serving bowl.

  3. 7

    Add Toppings

    Top the porridge with sliced banana, blueberries, sliced almonds, and coconut flakes according to your preference.

  4. 8

    Enjoy

    Serve immediately and enjoy your nutritious chia breakfast bowl!
