A berry berry Chia morning!
July 3, 2020
A berry berry Chia morning! . Here’s to the Blue in the flag - the color that stands for perseverance, vigilance and justice. Something that is the need of the hour for us on many fronts. . Meditative practice teaches - start every day with an attitude to feel good about yourself, to persevere for the better and to be observant and vigilant through your day, doing good towards others as you do for you. So what could be better than to begin with a breakfast full of goodness? After all breakfast is the most important meal of the day! . Let’s make: Mix 1/4 to 1/2 cup of chia seeds in 1 cup of coconut milk to form pudding. When mixing chia and milk, whisk constantly to avoid lumps. Add 1 tsp honey to the mix (optional). Leave in refrigerator overnight (at least 7 hours). To serve, spoon chia pudding in a bowl, top with toppings of choice - I love coconut flakes, berries, granola and sometimes nuts like almonds. Chia pudding can stay in refrigerator for up to 7 days. This should yield about 3-4 servings. . Seen here: Mix half the chia with 1 tbsp berry juice (blueberry and blackberry). That however gives more of a purple color, so add a tbsp of @gosupernatural Magic BlackBerry food color and let it sit until the blue color pops. I love the fact that these food colors are completely natural and plant based, so work perfectly for this blue theme without adding any toxins. The other half is simple chia. Spoon in a bowl to create the dual color, top with a sprinkle of granola, coconut flakes and blueberries for that added blue and berry taste. . Notes: 1) Adjust chia seeds qty as per the consistency of your choice. I like it a little on the runny side so I go with closer to 1/4 cup of seeds. 2) Chia can be soaked in regular milk or any other milk. I love the coconut milk taste always! . This surely qualifies for some pleasantly uplifting platedexpressions! . Make it. Share it.
