The Good

Prep time: 5 minutes Servings: 4

High in protein, omega 3 fatty acids and good fats, which help you feel fuller for longer, curb sugar cravings and prevent afternoon slumps. A perfect healthy snack or pick me up that does not require much effort or ingredients.

 

Ingredients

  • 2 cups coconut milk (homemade or natural)

  • ½ cup Chia Seeds

  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

  • Optional: ½ - 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder

Method

For Blended/Smooth Version: Place all ingredients in blender and blend on high for 1-2 minutes until completely smooth.

For Whole Chia Seed Version: Place coconut milk, cinnamon, vanilla and chia seeds into a jar and stir vigorously with a spoon. If you’re wanting to include blended fruits, blend separately in blender and whisk into the jar.

Place mixture  in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight to let gel.

NOTES

For easy breakfasts, make this at night and leave in the fridge to set for the next day. Add blueberries, nuts and seeds or add 2 tablespoons of homemade cacao mousse for a nutrient dense meal. Please note that you won’t need much of this meal to be full!
