Warm Blueberry Chia Pudding

I needed a break from eggs and dinner leftovers for breakfast. It's been cold in these parts and all I wanted was a warm bowl of awesome.  Normally that means oatmeal, but I'm 20 days into Whole30 and there's no giving up now!

I rummaged through my pantry for something to cure my craving.

Chia to the rescue!

Not everyone is a fan, but I happen to enjoy the texture of these seeds, especially warm. They take on any flavor you throw at them and they make a super satisfying breakfast.

The bowl of warm chia looked so good even The 10-Year-Old wanted a taste!

I doubt I'd get him to eat a whole bowl but he went back in for a few bites. That's a win in my book!

Here's what I did..

Ingredients

• 1 cup (140g) frozen blueberries
• 1 cup water
• 3 tablespoon chia seeds (36g)
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus more for sprinkling
• ½ ripe banana, mashed
• Sprinkling of sunflower seeds (10g)
• Sprinkling of slivered almonds (10g)

Instructions

Add the blueberries, water, chia and cinnamon in a small pot over medium heat. Cook for about 5 minutes allowing the blueberries to defrost and the chia to thicken everything. I smashed as many blueberries as I could, releasing their thickening pectin as well.

Once the mixture is thick, stir in the mashed banana.

Pour everything into a bowl, top with the sunflower seeds, almonds and a dash of cinnamon.

The recipe makes a huge serving for less than 300 calories. It's cold-weather comfort food for breakfast. I love it!

Please excuse my bad photos. I never seem to be cooking when there's daylight out there anymore. Bring on spring!
