Always rushing around in the morning?

Here’s a healthy breakfast idea you can prepare ahead of time to help you start your day out right. This recipe will delight your taste buds with the delicious combination of coffee, chocolate and strawberries. And it’s a sure-fire answer to your hunger!

For the past few months, chia seeds, whether they’re white, black, whole or ground, have been a hot topic on social networks for foodies. Nutritionally speaking, chia seeds, although small, are chock-full of fibre. One tablespoon of chia seeds provides as much fibre as 2 slices of whole wheat bread (around 4 g). Because the fibre is soluble, it expands and absorbs liquids. This creates a mucilaginous coating, or gel texture, which comes in handy in the kitchen. Chia seeds also contain omega-3 fats, antioxidants, calcium, iron and vitamin C.

Steps

1. Strawberry sauce

   In a bowl, crush the strawberries with a fork or your fingers and add sugar. Refrigerate in a tightly sealed container. This will keep for 3 to 4 days.

2. Chia pudding

   In a bowl, use a whisk to combine the milk, yogurt, coffee and chia seeds. Pour into glass containers with tight-fitting lids. Refrigerate overnight

3. To serve

   Top the chia pudding with 2 tbsp. (30 ml) quick and easy strawberry sauce and 1 tbsp. (15 ml) or more Moka Moments Artisan Blend.

Recommendations

Will keep up to 3 days in the refrigerator, do not freeze.

To give your chia pudding an extra boost of protein, add 1/4 cup of skimmed milk powder to the mix. This will yield pudding with 15 g of protein per serving of 190 g.
