Chia Oatmeal

When I want a warm and comforting breakfast meal I always ran for Oatmeal…believe it or not as a kid I LOVED Oatmeal. How it made my tummy nice and warm and kept me full for a very long time.

I want to enjoy Oatmeal again just without all the carbs with it so I played with chia seeds and oatmeal to create the best texture and macros. I’ve done it at last!

Chia Pudding or chia oats or even overnight oats is a very over used recipe for what I have seen but super effective when it comes to meal prepping and weight loss. I make it all the time because it is so versatile and quick.

My favorite toppings is Almonds, a tablespoon of peanut butter or Almond butter, some coconut flakes, and blueberries or strawberries.
