I LOVE CHIA (and flax meal)

So along with my research I've made a new discovery.. With the help of Pinterest and a few recipes shared by my mom I have found my GO TO breakfast / snack type meal.

LOW CARB "Oatmeal"

It thickens like the classic hot breakfast cereal. It fills you up like it is filled with carbs. It is just as easy as instant! SUPER quick and you don't need a TON of ingredients!

For mine I use:

2 tablespoons chia seeds
2 tablespoons ground flax meal
1/3 cup - 1/2 cup hot water
cinnamon, pumpkin pie spices, cocoa powder - to taste
sweetener, 1 packet - to taste
2 tablespoons of heavy cream (whipped or liquid)
1/2 cup of Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Coconut milk

Turns out to be barely a carb (depending on your sweetener and toppings).
You can add whipped cream, berries, nuts (coconut, almonds, pecans, walnuts)..more whipped cream.

It is super filling and easy to make.
Add the dry ingredients together and mix.
Add the hot water and let it sit about 2-3 minutes. It will thicken A LOT. You can then add either more water or the heavy cream and Almond milk.

I'm terrible at writing recipes. But there ya go!
