This breakfast has been on repeat!
Note on measurements: If you are using metric measurements, remember that milliliters and grams are only equal for water. This recipe is measured with volume – 60 ml is equal to 4 tablespoons or around 50g.
Ingredients:
1 can (400 ml) organic, full fat coconut milk
1/4 cup (60 ml) chia seeds
1/4 cup (60ml) unflavored whey protein or collagen (such as Vital Protein)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla paste
Liquid stevia to taste**
Method:
Add all the ingredients to a deli container or mixing bowl. Mix well, until the whey protein is dissolved.
Cover, and let it set in the refrigerator. It’s best left overnight, but should be fine to eat within two hours. It lasts around 1 week in the fridge.
Serve with fresh fruit — (stevia to me doesn’t taste quite right without fruit mixed in). I love to use partially defrosted frozen raspberries, which I microwave just 30 seconds before using.
**All brands of liquid stevia are different, but I used around 2 teaspoons, which way be WAY too much for you. According to the package of my liquid stevia, my 2 teaspoons of liquid are equal to around 1/3 cup of sugar, but yours could be much stronger. You can also use powder, which may be even more potent; same warning applies.
