Nutrient-Packed Chia Porridge
This seasonal recipe is perfect for those chilly fall mornings when you want something comforting, delicious and very nutritious. I’ve adapted this one over the past few months and really have come to love this hearty breakfast. It’s a stick-to-your ribs kind of porridge which will sustain you for several hours after enjoying. It will also supply you with plenty of protein, omega 3, a plethora of vitamins and minerals. Hope you savour it as much as my son and I do!Sending nourishment from our kitchen to yours,Lisa Marie
