I’ve been struggling with finding a breakfast that keeps me full, is healthy and doesn’t make me feel bloated. *Insert all the heart eyes and happy dance moves*
Hit the goldmine 😍
Oatmeal is often a go-to, but somedays it makes me feel “weighed down” and “bleh”. The next choice is a smoothie, which I looooove but is hard for me to enjoy everyday, especially when it’s freezing here in ND—starting my day with a cold smoothie sounds terrible. ha Although, a trick I have found is adding a piece of fresh ginger to your smoothie helps with digestion and take a bit of the “shock” away! But I digress….back to the Dreamy Chia Bowls!
I make a big batch of the chia seed base and put it in the fridge in mason jars so it’s easy to grab in the morning or for a snack in the afternoon. I’m taking a little break from sugar so I use chopped up dates to sweeten it up—but drizzled with some local honey would be equally as dreamy!
Top it with whatever toppings you like. Pictured I topped with: 1/2 a banana, wolfberries, coconut flakes and a dollop of cashew butter.
(I like adding the wolfberries + dates to the chia base mixture to soften them up. I didn’t do that here to get a prettier photo 😉.)
