Chia Seed Porridge
My chia porridge is a warming, nutritious and delicious low carb breakfast for colder days. This easy, high protein recipe comes together in minutes and will keep you satisfied until lunch. Top it like you would a regular porridge - berries or other fruit, nut butter, chocolate chips, nuts or seeds, a dusting of cinnamon or a spoonful of sweetener of your choice.

Ingredients
- 4 tablespoon chia seeds 40g
- 2 tbsp ground flaxseed 15g, I used golden flax
- 2 tablespoon hemp hearts hulled hemp seeds, 20g
- 1.5 cup soya milk unsweetened, or almond milk, 360ml, add more to loosen as needed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Add-Ins
- 1-2 teaspoon allulose or sweetener of choice
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a saucepan - chia seeds, ground golden flaxseed, hemp hearts, vanilla extract and milk of your choice. Stir.
- Heat the mixture on the stove over medium heat. As soon as the first bubbles appear, turn the heat to low. Simmer for 4-5 minutes until the chia seeds and the ground flax have absorbed the liquid, stirring regularly. Loosen with more milk or water if desired. Option to add sweetener to taste.
- Serve warm in bowls with toppings of your choice. I decorated with sliced strawberries and crushed walnuts.
