Chia Seed Berry Porridge

Chia PorridgeServes 1

Ingredients
1 cup coconut milk kefir (or organic but not lite coconut milk)
1 cup strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries—fresh or frozen
2 Tablespoons chia seeds
2 Tablespoons raw pumpkin seeds
2 Tablespoons flax seeds
(optional)

Preparation

  1. Blend the berries into coconut milk kefir (or unsweetened, full fat, coconut milk). Use a blender to color the porridge as shown, or just stir well if you’d rather have fruit chunks.
  2. Blend in optional collagen (this one is best for skin/joints/hair… there’s another here for muscles after workouts (15 to 25 grams within 2 hours after exercise to rebuild muscles). Both have all forms of collagen in different ratios depending on your goals. I carry both at Synergy Nutrition 907-222-1824 or marie@synergynutrition.info)
  3. Mix in the seeds.
  4. Leave on the counter for at least 1 hour (overnight works well—especially if you want fast, grab and go in the AM). The soluble fibers in these seeds will absorb the moisture and create a thick, pudding-like, porridge texture. Best is to soak the seeds in coconut milk kefir overnight to soften their fibers and help with digestion.

This is so simple and I love taking varieties for snacks, sending in school lunches…
Enjoy!
