I have a thing for these tiny seeds and blueberries, for a number of reasons – to name a few:
Chia seeds: did you know that ‘chia’ is the Mayan word for ‘strength’? They are loaded with protein, fiber, calcium, manganese and magnesium, phosphorus, antioxidants, omega 3 fatty acids! So you have an energy and nutrient packed gem in your hands!
Blueberries: my favourite berries! Packed with vitamin c and k and considered the king of antioxidant foods, they have so many health benefits you simply need to have them in your daily diet!
So, combined these 2 ingredients, gives you a pretty good start to your day or serves as a really good, low calories high energy snack in between meals.
Ingredients:
3 tbsp chia seeds
a handful of frozen or fresh blueberries
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tbsp maple syrup
a few drops vanilla essence
plant based milk of your choice
anything you fancy for topping (granola, coconut flakes, nuts, choco chips etc)
How to:
Simply mix all ingredients together and refrigerate overnight.
In the morning add your toppings and enjoy!
