❤️ Why You'll Love It

It is an easy breakfast recipe; it's made in minutes.
You can customize it to your liking with a variety of toppings. Add your favorite fresh fruit, seeds, and nuts.
It's perfect for a vegan, gluten-free, low-carb, or keto diet.

🧾 Ingredients

Whole chia seeds: Get gelatinous when liquid is added. They are a great alternative to rolled oats. They also work great in chia pudding, like my Neapolitan Chia Pudding recipe.
Ground flaxseeds: For texture, flavor, protein and fiber. You could also use more chia seeds.
Shredded coconut: Adds coconut flavor. You could leave it out.
Hemp milk: I used keto-friendly hemp milk because it is sugar-free and keto. You could use unsweetened almond milk, full-fat coconut milk, or your favorite dairy-free milk.
Cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg: Adds warm spice flavors. You could use your favorite spices.
Vanilla extract: Enhances flavors.
Salt: Enhances flavors. I like to use sea salt.
Stevia: Sweetens without adding sugar. You could use your favorite sugar-free sweetener or maple syrup, agave syrup, or dates.

This vegan chia seed porridge recipe will last up to 5 days in an airtight container in the fridge.

Are chia seeds good in porridge?

You can add chia seeds to porridge, or use them as the main ingredients as I did here for this chia porridge recipe. Chia seeds thicken up and get gelatinous in liquid, so they are the perfect ingredient for porridge.
