Raw Chia Breakfast Cup

I made this for breakfast on Saturday morning and it was fabulous!  Chia seeds are little health bombs – omega 3, calcium, manganese, phosphorus – you name it, the chia seed has got it:)  This breakfast comes together instantly in your blender and I topped it with dried goji berries, chopped up dried figs and raw cacao nibs for extra goodness!  As I tucked into my gorgeous breakfast, I made sure to drizzle it with some delicious homemade almond milk.

I only used 3 dates to sweeten my chia mixture.  It wasn’t very sweet at all, but I liked it like that since my toppings of figs and berries were pretty sweet.  If you are not putting a sweet topping on, feel free to add either more dates or drizzle with your sweetener of choice.

Ingredients (Serves 1)

• 1/3 cup chia seeds
• 2/3 cup water
• 3 dates (pits removed)
• pinch salt
• Topped with:  dried goji berries, dried figs and cacao nibs (use your imagination!)
• Feel free to drizzle with honey/agave/maple syrup if extra sweetness is required.
• almond milk for serving

Instructions

Place chia seeds, water, dates and salt into a blender and blend for a minute or two.  Taste and add anything you fancy to the original chia mix.  I left it as is and scooped it into a glass.  The chia mixture thickens as it stands to form a lovely goop:)  Top with yummy sweet superfoods and breakfast it served!
