Directions
- Mix together all the ingredients and divide into two containers. Refrigerate overnight.
- In the morning, top with additional strawberries and, if desired, a dollop of your favorite nut butter for additional protein. The second serving can go to someone that doesn’t mind running the risk of getting a chia seed stuck in his/her teeth, or can be kept refrigerated for your breakfast the next day. Enjoy and let us know what you think!
Note: This breakfast is not particularly sweet, so feel free to add additional sweetener: Vanilla Paste, stevia, monk fruit, fruit juice instead of milk, extra fruit or a tablespoon of maple syrup are great places to start.
