I'm not a huge fan of cooking breakfast. My good friend and neighbor cooks most breakfast for her children, and I admire her for her commitment and love for her family.
But I am no such person ;).
I am a fan of the quick healthy, nutritious breakfast. The kind where my kids get excited, and I get to feel good about filling them up.
This was our breakfast this morning:
Don't worry, my plating always gets re-done kid-style! They stir it all together and call it "strawberry ice cream breakfast" :)
So a great breakfast, even for the kiddos, does not need take a lot of elbow grease. There. You have permission to give your kids "pudding" for breakfast, or as my kids say "Strawberry Ice Cream!".
Chia Pudding Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 can organic full fat coconut milk
- 1/4 cup organic chia seeds, white or black
- 1 whole vanilla bean's seeds
- maple syrup, grade B to taste, I omit this, but just 1-2Tbsp would be plenty!
Method:
- Mix them all together in a jar or big bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or the night before you want to eat! That's it. Sometimes, I stir it up after 30 minutes if the chia seeds seem to have settled on the bottom.
Topping Ideas:
- strawberries, it's winter so I buy bags of frozen and just throw them in a pan for 3-5 minutes on the stovetop at medium- organic fresh ones are even better
- blueberries
- raspberries with orange zest
- banana slices
- nuts
- raisins with a dash of cinnamon
- coconut flakes
