Fruity Chia Breakfast Drink

Want and easy on the go breakfast? This is a yummy drink that keeps you filled and is high in omegas, thanks to our friend the Chia Seeds! Adding any kind of fruit adds variety and makes it easy to change up so you do not have the same thing over and over. This is great to make the night before and will store in the fridge for a couple of days. This makes this drink an easy snack and there when you need it. The order you add the ingredients makes a difference and you will see why 🙂 There will be less of a mess and less things to clean.

First get yourself a quart jar, and add 1/3 cup of a sweetener. I put melted raw honey, agave or real maple syrup or a mixture of all of them! If you are worried about blood sugar add a squirt of a liquid stevia. If your honey is crystalized then add a heaping spoonful and melt in microwave (I know not the best, but you can put the glass quart jar right in the microwave)

Next, add in 1 cup of fresh or unthawed fruit. I put the fruit in a bowl and use a fork to squish it all up. This is so you can drink the fruit.

Then fill the jar with milk. I use an Almond and Cashew blend. Leave some space at the top so you have room to shake the contents.

Last ingredient is your chia seeds, I use 6 Tablespoons. You can find what you like, less than that will make it more runny, and more than that will make it thicker. At 12 Tablespoons you will have yourself a pudding and not really a drink.

Put your lid on and give it a shake and watch it turn a beautiful color. I leave it on the counter for 5 minutes so I remember to shake it every minute. If you do not do this your chia seeds will all clump together and you will have chunks. So make sure you shake it until they stay separated.

At this point you can put in fridge and store. I would wait an hour or so to drink it and let the chia seeds get soft. Thats it!
