Since I do
not have a dehydrator (yet), I have decided to invest more experimenting and
trialing in Raw breakfasts. I have always loved my muesli, fruit and yoghurt
and still do! But I am excited to start branching out and unleashing myself to
the world of variety and of course wonderful raw nutrition to kick start the
day! This morning I was up early and short of time before a long trip up to
Geraldton, but found this very quick and easy recipe for Chia porridge! I
didn’t really know what to expect to happen to my Chia seeds, would it turn
into a mush of cottage cheese? Would it be like grated rubber? These don’t
sound very appetizing to anyone, but the end result I could only describe as
Christmas in a bowl! It literally looked like Christmas with wonderful its
colours and I was pleasantly surprised with the taste… yum!! Here is what I
used…
Chia Seed Porridge
1/3 cup
chia seeds
2/3 cup
water
2 Tbsp
organic shredded coconut
¼ cup
chopped almonds
1 Tbsp
pepitas
½ tsp
cinnamon
Topping
2
Strawberries sliced
Small
handful of Raspberries
Dried
apricots
Method
Mix Chia seeds with water in a breakfast bowl and mix straight away to avoid clumping. The seeds will gradually thicken over 1-2 minutes as they soak up the water. Add the coconut, almonds, pepitas, cinnamon and stir in.

| Strawberries, coconut, apricots, pepitas and almonds at the ready |
 |
| Chia seeds and water... no clumps! |
Top with fresh strawberries, raspberries and anything which tickles your taste buds!
Add some almond or cashew milk or you can leave it as it is like I did and eat it right away.
You can also add a teaspoon of honey or some dates for more sweetness and flavor. I would love to mix it up more.

| And enjoy your Chia porridge, Bliss :) |
The beauty is no two porridges can be the same!
Try adding chopped banana, blueberries, kiwi fruit, mango, grated apple…. The
possibilities are endless! Maybe even cacao powder, a chocolate porridge… yum J
