Ingredients

Chia Seed Mixture

  • 2 Tbsp Chia Seeds
  • 1/3 Cup Water, Milk, Nut Milk, or Coconut Milk (any liquid you like)

Optional Add-Ins

  • Flax Seed, Shredded Coconut, Chopped Bananas, Apples, Pears, Nuts, Berries, Honey, Maple Syrup, Protein Powder, Nut Butter, Applesauce, Yogurt, Cacao Nibs, Goji Berries, Sunflower Seeds, or anything else you can come up with!

Instructions

  • Mix the chia seeds with your liquid and let sit for 5-10 minutes. Make sure the Chia seeds are covered with a little extra liquid because they will expand.
  • While waiting for the chia seed mixture, prepare your add-ins of choice
  • Mix it all together and enjoy!

Notes

Another option is to make chia seed pudding the night before. Simply cover the chia seeds with some liquid and let them sit in the fridge overnight. The next morning all you have to do is add some toppings and breakfast is ready!
This recipe really is extremely versatile! My family and I have come up with all sorts of crazy and delicious combinations.
Right now my son and daughter-in-law are eating this almost every day. Their favorite add-ins are: Almond or Peanut butter, Flax Seeds, Bananas, Apples or Applesauce, Protein Powder, and Yogurt. Sometimes they put all of those things in the same bowl! Then they add liquid until their desired consistency is reached.
