Chia Seed Pot
This chia seed pot is a light yet satisfying breakfast, dessert or snack that is super easy to prepare. Chia seeds have amazing properties that can help to keep you satiated and hydrated throughout the day. Rich in omega 3 fatty acids they contribute towards cellular, skin and overall health. They are also rich in fibre and protein, plus they are low in calories – what more could you ask for?!
Ingredients:
1) 85g (1/4 cup), or more, unsweetened almond milk (or alternative milk of choice)
2) 10g (1 TBLS) chia seeds
3) 10g (1 TBLS) sprouted hemp powder (optional for additional protein)
4) Topping options: hemp seeds, coconut flakes, goji berries
Simply mix the chia seeds, almond milk and sprouted hemp powder (if more protein is desired) into a glass jar before bedtime and pop in the fridge. Overnight the chia seeds will have released their omega 3 content, giving them an oily texture which then makes them ready to eat/digest. Sprinkle with some hemp seeds, coconut flakes and goji berries for extra crunchiness and flavours – and voila!
*Note: chia seeds may not be suitable for those with GI tract issues (colitis, IBS, diverticulitis etc)
