Chia Seed Breakfast
Serves: 1
Ingredients
- 15 tbsp coconut water
- 3 tbsp chia seeds
- 30 gm walnuts, chopped
- ½ tsp spirulina, optional (made from blue green algae it is a great source of nutrients)
- Honey or a sweetener of choice, optional
- Berries of choice to garnish
Method
- Mix the coconut water with the chia seeds.
Mix from time to time for 5 minutes so that they do not clump together or settle to the bottom, because until they begin to hydrate, they tend to do so.
Add the spirulina and mix.
Sweeten with the honey and mix again.
Let stand for at least 1 hour or best overnight.
Add the berries, walnuts and serve.
Note: In absence of fresh berries use dried berries or any other cut fresh fruit.
