Chia Flax Porridge
My husband and I have been enjoying this chia flax porridge recipe for the last while. In addition to the full-bodied nutty and delicious taste, I’ve summarized a few other reasons why it shows up on our breakfast table so regularly.
Why I love this Chia Flax Porridge
- It’s customizable – the base recipe can be enjoyed any way you prefer. I personally prefer to add a little cinnamon and syrup to the top of my porridge whereas Rob enjoys the man-style no holds barred type porridge complete with sunflower seeds, coconut flakes, pumpkin seeds, maybe a little jam and peanut butter. The variations are endless. Since no two days are the same, neither should your breakfast be. It’s also good on its own.
- The glycemic index is so low that, unless we get all wild and crazy with our toppings, this base provides a stress-free start to our day. Our blood sugars appreciate a simple breakfast like this.
- Hot or Cold – sometimes it’s nice to have a fresh cold porridge in the morning whereas other times, a steamy bowl of comfort is the go-to. Wellness Bakeries is a great resource for baking with flaxseed.
- You won’t go hungry – I’ve found this recipe keeps me full. I sincerely feel satisfied after enjoying this simple breakfast recipe.
- This recipe is so simple! Seriously, who doesn’t have time to make this?
