Breakfast is my FAVorite meal of the day --- I always make sure it's extra dense in nutrients and superfoods so that it kickstarts my day in the right direction! I am a huge egg & bacon fan along with breakfast smoothies, but on occasion, I like to spice things up a bit. I love anything from banana pancakes, collagen waffles, yogurt bowls, or even this recipe: breakfast pudding! It can be made so many different ways, so it's always a great option for guests so that you can accommodate everyone's different preferences. This recipe is inspired by one of my favorite nutritionists, Kelly Leveque, and her #Fabfour principles! I added a few more of my personal favorites to it too. I love this recipe because it's not only gluten-free, but also dairy-free and grain-free! So delicious!
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Serving Size: 1 pudding bowl (or two small servings)
Ingredients:
2 cups coconut or almond milk
3 tablespoons chia seeds
1 tablespoon ghee or coconut oil
2 tablespoons ground flax seed
3 tablespoons hemp hearts
Sweetener option #1: 1 serving of vanilla collagen (my preference!)
Sweetener option #2: 2-3 stevia drops
Topping Options (depending on your personal preference of taste!):
cinnamon
unsweetened coconut flakes
frozen or fresh berries (blueberries, raspberries, cherries, etc)
chopped raw nuts (almonds, walnuts, cashews, etc)
hemp seeds
peanut, cashew or almond butter
the options are endless!
Directions:
In a medium pan (or small pot), on a medium heat, add the ghee (or coconut oil), coconut milk, chia seed and flax.
You're waiting for it to thicken -- so simply take a spatula and stir around until it is thick, like a pudding texture (takes a few minutes).
Mix in the sweetener of choice and continue to stir.
Pour into a bowl and add your desired toppings!
**Best if enjoyed warm**
