Chia Porridge Recipes

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.

RAW CHIA 'PORRIDGE'

CHIA SEED PORRIDGE

Steps:

• Start the night before. Soak the chia seeds in the coconut and almond milk, stir the chia seeds and vanilla extract through the milk. Put in a covered bowel or sealed container or jar and leave in the fridge overnight.
• In a medium sized skillet or pan melt the coconut oil. Add the chopped pear, feijoas, almonds and cinnamon to the skillet. Saute these for 3-5 minutes until the fruit is tender and the cinnamon is mixed through the fruit and almonds.
• While the pear, feijoas and almonds are sauteing gently reheat the chia seed porridge in a small saucepan, heat until warm but not boiling.
• In a high sped blender add the berries and water and blitz until they are nearly like liquid.
• Spoon the chia seed porridge into bowls, drizzle with the berry liquid, top with the cooked pear, feijoas and almonds. Top with shaved coconut and coconut yoghurt.
• Serve immediately.
