Here’s my latest superfood recipe for my lululemon breakfast series. Enjoy!
As far as I’m concerned, a perfectly assembled superfood breakfast that’s waiting in the fridge for you each morning is the new breakfast in bed. And that’s exactly what I’ve been doing lately: preparing my breakfast at night, then letting it soak, release its enzymes, and expand. One way to go about this is using soaked oats, as per my previous post. Another one is (drum roll please) chia pudding.
Tiny black and white chia seeds are the richest plant-based source of Omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for keeping you heart healthy. On top of that, they provide dietary fiber, protein and antioxidants. The fun thing about chia seeds is that even though their gel-like texture makes a statement, they have no flavor, so you can make your chia pudding taste how you wish.
All you have to do is mix your chia seeds in a jar with milk, fruit and a sweetener of your choice, stir well, pop it in the fridge, and let it sit overnight.
Voilà! Your healthy superfood breakfast is served, no blender required. (But if you are not a fan of the chia seed texture, blend all the ingredients prior to putting the jar in the fridge.)
