Banberry Protein Chia Porridge - Raw

It is my first Sunday in 4 or 5 weeks where i am not working (yay!), there is something comforting about being home with the family on the weekend :) Sundays is also the day we usually make different breakfasts, i make pancakes on special occaisions, dad usually makes porridge, and today i made a smooth and delicious 'Banberry Protein Chia Porridge!' If there was one breakfast which could be a desert it is this one... truthfully it is derived from a Chia Pudding recipe from Sweetly Raw, so breakfast or desert? Why not both!

Banberry Protein Chia Porridge

Banberry Protein Chia Porridge 




Ingredients

1 tablespoon Chia seeds
5 tablespoons Water
1 ripe (or frozen) Banana
1 tablespoon Pea Protein powder
1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons organic Maple Syrup
1 tablespoon organic shredded Coconut
1/3 cup fresh or frozen Blueberries



Soak the Chia seeds in the water for at least 15 minutes, you can do this overnight to be ready in the morning.

Add the Chia glue to the processor with the banana, pea protein, cinnamon, vanilla and maple syrup and blend for around 15 seconds until smooth. You may add some more water here if you would like it to be runnier.

Chia, protein and banana mix

 Stir in the coconut and transfer to a serving bowl topped with blueberries and addition cinnamon... heaven in a bowl!

Yum!

You could use almond milk or coconut water as oppose to simple water which may make a smoother porridge, i quite like how the pea protein adds a creamier consistency as well as providing the added nutrition! It's not as high a protein content as my 'Choc Rock' breakfast but still quite good considering the simple raw ingredients and sooooo tasty :)

And if you don't want to use the pea protein you don't have to, but for me its a pre-workout breakfast so i am ready to hit the pool!
