Break your fast with a bowl of super fast chia porridge. High in Omega 3's, calcium, magnesium and antioxidants, chia seeds are a great start to your day. Coconut milk is high in fat, keeping you feeling full for longer. Grab a pot, turn on the stove and breakfast will be ready in no time! You will need: 25 grams of chia seeds (I used black) 80 grams of coconut milk (I used the Aldi 95c kind with just coconut milk and water, no nasties) Approx 2 tablespoons of water Whatever you'd like on the top. I happened to have tinned peaches and strawberries. A sprinkle of cinnamon. Put the chia and coconut milk in a saucepan. It was freezing where I am this morning so my coconut milk was rock hard. Give it a smoosh with the back of a spoon and add about 2 tbs of water so it's slightly runny. (If your coconut milk is really watery perhaps leave out the 2 tbs of added water). Don't stress if your coconut milk is not runny, the heat will melt it. Put in over a low heat on the stove and stir consistently for a few minutes. You really only need to heat it through until it becomes slightly thick like custard. Pour it into a bowl and leave to cool while you prepare the fruit. Top with fruit of your choice (some nuts are nice too) and a sprinkle of cinnamon. If you're a sweet tooth you might like a dash of maple syrup to sweeten it up. Almost as easy as bought cereal but a heap healthier. Pat yourself on the back ;)
