Mix & Match Chia Bowl
Breakfast is my jam. I look forward to fueling my day with a hearty breakfast every morning and while I just looove my go-to oatmeal, all of the fresh fruit available now has inspired me to mix it up with some chia pudding. Chia seeds are one of life's greatest mysteries. They can be used to make chia pets, or soaked in liquid to create a jelly or pudding as they swell up to 11x their original size by absorbing liquid.
I posted a recipe for Chai Chia Pudding a few months back (delicious), but this one is even more simple, and doesn't require a blender. I've paired it with blackberries, and Purely Elizabeth Ancient Grain Granola, but you can use any fruit, and any crunchy topping that you like! I like this granola brand in particular because it has loads to clusters, is all natural, and is very low in sugar.
Other variations may include:
- Bananas & Pumpkin Fig Granola
- Blueberries & Blueberry Hemp Granola
- Strawberries & Cranberry Pecan Granola
Chia Pudding
Makes 2 Servings

In a medium size mixing bowl pour almond milk. Start whisking and add in chia seeds one at a time until well blended. Add remaining ingredients and mix thoroughly. Let sit for 30 minutes or longer. Tip: Make a large batch ahead of time and have some ready on hand for a quick breakfast.
