Description

A nutrient-packed, no-cook breakfast with chia, flax and pumpkin seeds. Perfect for post-bariatric recovery or busy mornings!


Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 tbsp ground flaxseeds
  • 1 tbsp pumpkin seeds
  • 1 tbsp hemp hearts
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or oat milk)
  • ยฝ tsp vanilla extract
  • ยผ tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp honey or sugar-free maple syrup
  • ยผ cup mashed raspberries (optional)

Instructions

  1. Soak the Base: In a 16-oz jar, combine chia seeds, flaxseeds and almond milk. Whisk vigorously for 30 seconds.
  2. Rest: Let sit 5 minutes, then whisk again to prevent clumping.
  3. Flavor: Stir in vanilla, cinnamon and honey.
  4. Layer: Add raspberries (if using), then sprinkle pumpkin seeds and hemp hearts on top without stirring.
  5. Seal: Press plastic wrap directly on surface and refrigerate overnight (minimum 4 hours).

Notes

  • Substitutions: Use basil seeds or tapioca pearls instead of chia, coconut milk for nut-free version
  • Storage: Keeps 3 days in fridge. Revive with splash of milk if too thick.
  • For kids: Blend for smoother texture, halve chia amount for under 5s
