This breakfast bowl will help you increase your soluble fiber intake with minimal prep time! Soluble fiber tends to help regulate digestion and support healthy, regular bowel movements. Chia tends to soak up liquid and soften quickly, however this recipe can also be made in advance for an easier morning. Raspberries provide another good source of soluble fiber as well as antioxidants! We love topping with crunchy toasted coconut and a dollop of creamy yogurt.
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Yields: 1 serving
Ingredients:
- 1-3 tablespoons chia seeds
- ⅔ cup almond-coconut milk (or other nut milk)
- pinch of salt
- coconut nectar, maple syrup, stevia, or honey, to taste
- Raspberries, to top*
- Other suggested toppings: plain greek yogurt and toasted coconut flakes
Directions:
- Combine the chia seeds with the almond milk and stir well. Allow to sit for at least 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the chia seeds completely bloom and soften. You can also do this step a night ahead.
- Just before serving, sweeten to taste with preferred sweetener, and then top with toasted coconut flakes, raspberries or other berries of choice, and anything else you like.
Notes: Substitute any other types of berries that you have on hand for the raspberries, as desired.
