Being in the kitchen experimenting with foods and planning our mealtimes is just something that makes me happy inside. I love to feel that I have done my best for us as a family, nourishing and satisifying all our needs.
One of the questions that i often get asked is – what do you have for breakfast?… Now, it seems that breakfast for many of us if quite a difficult meal to make – it needs to be tasty, quick, blood sugar balancing!
So, here is a quick recipe for Summer Berry Chia Porridge, how we have it at home.
Chia Porridge won’t be a new recipe to some of you. But this is the way that we like and it really is truly a nutrient packed start to the day…..

- 2 Tbsp Chia Seeds
- 10 Tbsp Water (Or coconut milk if you would prefer)
- 10 Lge Goji Berries
- 15 Dried White Mulberries

Add all of the above into a bowl and stir well. Leave for 5 minutes and then stir well again. Make it easy on your self and prepare this bit before you go to bed – then its ready in the morning to add the late additions!
