Chia Oatmeal Breakfast Bowls
Everyone loves a delicious breakfast that will get you through the morning without wanting to kill someone by early afternoon. These do the trick. No one likes to be hangry!
These are super simple and full of wonderful nutrition. Chia is high in Omega 3's and 1 T can provide 2500 mg. It also has protein, fiber, calcium, and iron.You can customize them to your liking. As always, use organic ingredients when possible.
1/2 T to 1 T chia seeds
1 cup almond milk or other nut milk (use organic milk if not dairy free)
Let this sit for 15 minutes. Why? Chia needs to hydrate to from that lovely gel around it. If you eat chia dry, it can cause constipation and dehydration as the chia will hydrate themselves by absorbing fluids inside you instead.
In the meantime, prepare other ingredients. Cut up banana or other fresh fruit. Gather your toppings.
After your chia mixture has soaked, add in 1/4 c to 1/2 c quick oats and stir. Top with fresh fruit and desired toppings. This particular bowl has banana, blueberries, dried cherries, shredded coconut, and pumpkin seeds. You may need to add more almond milk if it's too thick.
Try toppings like flax seed, raisins, peaches, dried apples, pecans, slivered almonds, etc. Try to incorporate some good fats into your breakfast bowl as that will help you stay satiated until lunch. In the summer, I eat this cold like a muesli. In the winter, it can easily be made warm. Enjoy!
