When you go to work very, very early in the morning (or you're just very, very lazy) sometimes putting any effort into breakfast at all is really hard. And maybe you would be tempted to skip breakfast, but we all know that is WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!
With this handy prepare-the-night-before, keeps-for-a-couple-of-days recipe, you will ALWAYS eat breakfast, and LOVE it. And you can feel good about the fact that you're eating all those awesome power foods, so you can feel full all morning, AND you've basically eaten dessert for breakfast. This is a win win!
Ingredients:
(For three servings. I keep it in the fridge and eat it incrementally for half a week)
A third of a cup of chia seeds
A can of coconut milk (light if you like)
A quarter cup of maple syrup or honey
To serve (per serving)
A handful of gogi berries
Ten pistachios
Six almonds, halved
A banana, sliced
Two big strawberries, sliced
Or, mix up the fruit and nuts to your taste, but these are my favourites!
Instructions:
The night before, mix the chia seeds, coconut milk, and maple syrup in a mason jar (or tupperware, if you don't have a mason jar.) Mix really well, and then put it the fridge for at least four hours but preferably overnight. The chia seeds will swell up like sago, which I absolutely love, and the consistency will be... pudding!
To serve:
Put your pudding in a bowl...
Sprinkle with nuts...
And fruit...
And eat! NOTE: I am a coconut fiend, so I love it with coconut milk. But I've had it with soy or almond milk, tastes AMAZING with all those things. This is such a good breakfast.
