An excellent way to start the day! Add additional toppings as desired.
Ingredients
3 cup
Almond milk, unsweetened
(or alternate milk of choice)
1/2 cup
Chia seeds
((1/2 to 3/4c); as needed)
4 scoop
Whey protein powder, vanilla
(or alternate protein powder of choice)
1/4 tsp
Cinnamon
(ground)
86 gm
Sugar Free Maple Syrup
(to taste - optional)
1 tsp
Coconut flakes
(topping)
1/2 cup
Blueberries
(topping)
1/2 cup slices
Strawberries
(topping)
6 tbsp
Almond butter
(optional - topping)
Instructions
Whisk the almond milk, chia seeds, protein powder, cinnamon, and maple syrup (optional) together in a large bowl. For a thin and runny consistency, use 1/2 cup of chia seeds. For a thicker consistency, use 3/4 cup of chia seeds.
Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes and then whisk again to prevent clumps from forming.
Cover the mixture and let it chill in the fridge for 3 hours, or overnight. If possible, stir the mixture every so often during this period.
Stir well before serving. If the consistency is too runny, whisk in more chia seeds and let it sit again until it thickens. If the consistency is too thick, add a bit more almond milk.
Portion into bowls. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge, to last for 3-5 days.
Notes:
Don't have almond milk? Try cashew milk, cow's milk, soy milk, or coconut milk.
*Optional toppings: Granola, Cereal, Coconut Flakes, Fresh Fruit (E.g. Banana, Blueberries, Strawberries, Raspberries, Pineapples), Nuts, Nut Butter, and Seeds
