How to make warm chia porridge

Once cooked, add coconut cream, cinnamon, vanilla bean powder, and coconut sugar to taste for a satisfying and delicious warm chia porridge.
Nutrition Tip ~ Commercial breakfast cereals are essentially sugar as they are a highly processed refined carbohydrate that causes energy spikes followed by a crash. Eating refined carbohydrates is the main culprit for the overproduction of insulin and weight gain. 5 grams of refined carbohydrates such as those found in commercial breakfast cereals equals 1 tsp of sugar.
I challenge you to turn around those cereal boxes, find out the number of carbohydrates in one serving and divide that by 5 to find out how many tsp of sugar are in a single serving! Sugar is hidden in the form of fast-acting refined carbohydrates that are marketed as “healthy whole grain, fat-free cereals.”
Chia seeds, on the other hand, are an excellent source of plant-based protein. The anti-inflammatory omega-three fatty acids are abundant in chia seeds which are great fats for weight loss and reducing inflammation.
Quality protein, healthy carbohydrates, and essential fatty acids are found in this healthy chia oatmeal pudding!!
