Mango, Coconut and Almond Overnight Chia Seeds

Why not start your morning right with this delicious overnight chia seed bowl with almond, coconut and mango. So what are chia seeds you ask? Well they are an extremely versatile little seed that originate from South America, which are an excellent source of sustainable energy, perfect for breakfast! And they should be seeing as 'chia' is the ancient Mayan word for 'strength'. Not only are they a great fuel to last you until lunch, they pack a powerful nutritional punch and are protein rich whilst still being low in calories what more could you ask for. 

Ingredients
(Serves 2)

- 1/4 cup of Chia Seeds
- 1/4 cup of Coconut Flakes
- 1/4 cup of Almond Flakes
- 3/4 cup of Coconut Milk (unsweetened)
- 3/4 cup of Almond Milk (unsweetened)
- 1tablespoon of Agave Nectar (honey, maple syrup or any other sweetener will also work fine)
- 1 Mango (diced)

When soaked over night they puff up and turn into a pudding like consistency and better yet, you can do all of the hard work at night meaning you can grab your breakfast from the fridge to-go on a busy morning! 

Method 

1) So if your making your breakfast before a busy morning where you'll likely be grabbing it to go, simply put all of your ingredients except your Flaked Almonds into an airtight container, stir them up, and put it in the fridge overnight! In the morning sprinkle over your Almonds and that's it! It really is that simple!

However if your looking to impress, also leave out the mango overnight then when you come to serve for breakfast, in a glass or mason jar put a layer of the chia seed mixture, followed by a layer of mango, then Flaked Almonds and repeat.


And that really is it! I hope you enjoy and stay tuned for more overnight breakfasts which will make you actually want to get out of bed in the morning!

Enjoy
