Another fabulous soaked chia flavour! This one is dark, gorgeous, and almost smoky with the coffee hit and chocolate. I love decadent breakfasts. Wait, no. I adore them!
Chia is absolutely brimming with nutrients – omega-3 fatty acids, protein, calcium, minerals, and fibre. Because they soak up so much liquid, you can make a gigantic, filling serving with a fairly small quantity of seeds. So all you low-cal peeps – eat up!
The additions of flaxseed, psyllium, cinnamon, and cocoa add further benefits like omega-3s, fibre, protein, antioxidants, and blood-sugar-regulating powers. This bowl is guaranteed to keep you full for hours. Who wants a measly bowl of cereal, anyway? Not Fizzi. No way!
I topped my soaked chia with unsweetened, full-cream, natural yoghurt, cinnamon, and brazil nuts. Cacao nibs, whipped coconut cream, seeds, coconut, and cocoa powder would all be fabulous as well. Oh, decadence. I love you.
This recipe can be gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free, egg-free, nut-free, and vegan.
