Breakfast is a very important meal. Everybody knows this. A hungry man doesn't think about his job and learning, but only about his rumbling stomach. Breakfast which is healthy and tasty, but above all fast and easy to prepare, is worth its weight in gold. This dish is appreciated by every mum who is in a hurry to get both herself and her children ready. Morning fussiness really doesn't help this along.
I would like to share with you a breakfast which you can partly prepare in the evening and finish off in the morning and then serve as a dish fit for a king. You should soak some chia seeds in milk and leave them overnight. You can use cow's milk or coconut milk (I use a mixture of both) or if your children don't drink cow's milk, use soya milk (maybe vanilla soya milk – the best for children). Serve with your favourite fruits, desiccated coconut or roast almond slices.
Ingredients (for 4 people):
3 tablespoons of chia seeds
100ml of milk
200ml of coconut milk
3 tablespoons of honey
½ teaspoon of vanilla essence
mango
3 tablespoons of desiccated coconut
150g of blueberries
Pour the milk, coconut milk, honey and vanilla essence onto the chia seeds. Leave for a minimum of one night. In the morning put the chia seeds into small bowls, add the blueberries and cubed mango. Sprinkle with desiccated coconut or almond slices.
Enjoy your meal!
