Chia Porridge Recipes

Steps:

• Place chia seeds in a bowl.
• Layer banana and dates in a blender; add almond milk, cinnamon, and salt. Blend mixture until smooth and pour over chia seeds, stirring well. Let mixture sit until thickened, at least 15 minutes.
• Stir chia 'porridge' and top with blueberries.

Steps:

• In pint jar with lid, place all ingredients and shake. Cover; refrigerate at least 8 hours or overnight.

Steps:

• Soak the oats and seeds in 800ml water overnight. Toast your flaked almonds in a dry frying pan over a medium heat until golden brown on each side, about 2-3mins. Set aside in an airtight container.
• Tip into a pan with 200ml oat milk and heat, stirring, until bubbling and thick. If you're following our Healthy Diet Plan, save half for the next day. Will keep in the fridge for two days. Divide the rest between two bowls, along with 50ml oat milk each and topping with a quarter portion each of the yogurt, almonds and grapefruit.
• The next day, prepare the second grapefruit and reheat the leftover porridge in a pan with a splash more oat milk before serving with the toppings as described in step 2.

Steps:

• Combine the oatmeal and 1 cup water. Microwave on full power for 2 minutes or until the oats are cooked. Add the chia seeds, ground flaxseeds, raisins, walnuts and agave nectar. Let sit 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the milk.

Steps:

• Activate the quinoa by soaking overnight in cold water. The next day, drain and rinse the quinoa through a fine sieve (the grains are so small that they will wash through a coarse one).
• Tip the quinoa into a pan and add the vanilla, creamed coconut and 600ml water. Cover the pan and simmer for 20 mins. Stir in the chia with another 300ml water and cook gently for 3 mins more. Stir in the pot of coconut yogurt. Spoon half the porridge into a bowl for another day. Will keep for 2 days covered in the fridge. Serve the remaining porridge topped with another pot of yogurt, the berries and almonds, if you like.
• To have the porridge another day, tip into a pan and reheat gently, with milk or water. Top with fruit - for instance, orange slices and pomegranate seeds.
