“Chia is very in high fibre and I often use the ground kind in my recipes. However, whole chia seeds are just as fantastic. They need more love though as they are pretty flavourless. Here, I experimented a little and made breakfast pots based on the same ingredients one would use to make a Bulletproof Coffee! The coffee flavour is subtle, but you can increase this if your coffee maker makes espressos (or you can boost it using instant coffee granules). Playing around until you are happy is the goal with this one – so have some fun! I sprinkled mine with some ground cinnamon which is optional, but it does add another flavour dimension which is lovely, so I would recommend it…” – Monya

Whole chia seeds are at the heart of this creation. These tiny powerhouses are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, fibre, and essential nutrients. When combined with MCT (Medium Chain Triglyceride) oil, and erythritol, the result is a breakfast or snack option that’s both tasty and nourishing.
The chia seeds absorb liquid and expand, creating a pudding-like texture. MCT oil boosts the creamy richness and promotes mental clarity, while erythritol adds a touch of sweetness without the drawbacks of regular sugar. MCT oils is also a source of healthy fats that supports cognitive function and energy production.
As a versatile and nutrient-packed option, this make-ahead breakfast offers a delightful way to start (or end!) the day while promoting overall well-being.

Instructions
- Make a cup of black coffee, approximately 180ml. Pour into a bowl and whisk in the MCT oil and almond milk.

Hi,why do you use swerve instead of the normal erythritol?
Hi Martyn,
SUCH A GREAT QUESTION! I find that when I use regular erythritol, there is a slight ‘cooling effect’ on the palate. I therefore add a few drops of liquid Stevia to balance this out. However, I never find that I need to do this with Swerve – its just an all-round fabulous sweetener (and it happens to be mostly erythritol, but it also has a few other bits added eg. oligosaccharides and some natural flavours). It is pricey, but its only my husband in the house with a sweet tooth, so a bag lasts me a long time. On months where I feel a financial pinch, I do admittingly go the erythritol + liquid stevia route. I hope this helps?
