Chia Porridge Recipes

RAW CHIA 'PORRIDGE'

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.

OAT & CHIA PORRIDGE

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.

OAT & CHIA PORRIDGE WITH PRUNES

Steps:

• The night before, put the prunes in a small pan with the cinnamon. Cover scantily with water and bring to the boil, then simmer for 5 mins. Tip into a bowl and set aside to soak overnight.
• Put a kettle full of water on to boil. Tip the oats and chia seeds into a bowl, pour over 300ml boiling water then stir well. Cover and leave to soak overnight too.
• The next morning, stir the vanilla and half the yogurt into the oat mixture then dilute to the consistency you like best with a little milk or water if necessary. Spoon into bowls and top with the remaining yogurt, the prunes, pears and seeds, if using, then dust with a little more cinnamon, if you like.
