Chia Seed Porridge with Banana and Blueberries

Ingredients

• cup chia seeds
• 1 banana
• 2 dates, pitted
• 1 cup almond milk
• teaspoon ground cinnamon
• Salt, to taste
• cup fresh blueberries (or more to taste)

Directions

Step 1: Start by placing the chia seeds in a bowl.

Step 2: In a blender, layer the banana and pitted dates. Add the almond milk, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Blend everything until smooth.

Step 3: Pour the blended mixture over the chia seeds and stir well to combine.

Step 4: Let the mixture sit for at least 15 minutes, allowing it to thicken to a pudding-like consistency.

Recipe Tip

The porridge will be even softer if you let it sit in the refrigerator overnight, making it a great make-ahead breakfast option.
