5 May 2021

This chia seed porridge recipe is courtesy of my husband. He first tried it a couple of years ago when we were exploring a paleo diet to better understand what foods were inflaming our guts and messing with our sinuses. But equally to better understand which foods made us feel fabulous and gave us the energy to tackle our day.

Which is where this delicious chia seed porridge recipe came in to play. Firstly it taste amazing, it warms your insides on a cool morning and it includes the perfect mix of ingredients to sustain you for hours.

It is also a great gluten-free alternative to oats and provides a healthy hit of protein, vitamins and minerals. Mix and match your favourites to create a beautiful start to the day.
