I was lucky to enjoy extended long weekend at the Coast recently and, as per the dependably changeable Melbourne weather, we had some chilly starts to the day. This called for a warm breakfast to get me going so I made this - chia and apple porridge with vanilla and cinnamon. Not only is it delicious, it's grain free and made with absolutely no added sugar. The apple gives it a natural sweetness so you really don't need to add any sweetener. Chia is really high in essential fatty acids, calcium, iron and soluble fibre so it's a great food to start your day with.
Chia and Apple Porridge
3 tblsp chia seeds
1 cup almond milk
1 apple - grated
1 tsp natural vanilla essence
1/4 tsp cinnamon
Place all ingredients in saucepan and simmer for 5 minutes or until the chia starts to expand and thicken. Serve warm with goji berries/fresh berries, desiccated coconut and a sprinkle of nuts and seeds.
