Mango & Blueberry Chia Pot
Having breakfast prepped and ready to go just makes life easier. FACT. Making breakfast the night before takes a few minutes OR you can batch jars ready for the week ahead and the night before just add milk, even easier! The Mango & Blueberry Chia Pot is one of my go-to easy breakfasts and you can mix and match with whatever fruits and flavours you like. Chia seeds for breakfast is a nice light and easy way to start the day.
Sometimes chia isn’t the most filling breakfast and if it’s not enough for you, I recommend adding in a scoop of protein powder (I love Nuzest Smooth Vanilla). I also like to add some crunch in the form of nuts and seeds or some of my Ginger & Buckwheat Granola.
Mango & Blueberry Chia Pot - Key Nutrients
Chia Seeds
- A combination of protein, fibre and healthy fats to help boost satiety and feeling of fullness.
- Approximately 6g protein per serve.
- Approximate 12g fibre per serve – that’s nearly half of your daily intake!
Cinnamon
- Helps to stabilise blood glucose levels which helps to reduce energy crashes and sugar cravings.
- Rich source of antioxidants.
Fruit
- Blueberries & mango are both amazing sources of vitamin C.
- Using whole pieces of fruit (if you don’t have mango & blueberries, use anything) will boost your daily intake of fibre.
Mango & Blueberry Chia Pot
Ingredients
- ¼ cup chia seeds (or 4 tbsp)
- 1 cups almond, soy or coconut milk (opt for unsweetened where possible)
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ¼ mango (or ½ cup fresh or frozen)
- 1 handful blueberries (or ½ cup fresh or frozen)
Instructions
- Place the chia and cinnamon into a bowl or jar and stir thoroughly before adding the milk. Stir through and let the mixture sit for a few minutes and then stir again (the chia can sometimes all sink to the bottom, so an extra stir is handy!).
- Chop the mango and add with blueberries to the mix.
- Top with nuts, seeds, coconut chips or granola etc.
Notes
Tips
I use a standard cup measure. If you don’t have one you can use a mug and substitute the amount for ¾ of a standard size mug.Find your Ingredients
