Sometimes you don’t have time to wait for your chia seed pudding to set. This quick little trick has saved my morning many a time. Hot water speeds up the chia seed plumping process. You can use water, bone broth, or add some flavor with your favorite tea!

Ingredients

• 2 Tbsp of chia seeds

• 1/2 cup of HOT water or bone broth

• 1 serving of your favorite protein power

Directions

1. Heat your water or bone broth to very hot (not boiling).

2. Add chia seeds and protein powder to a bowl.

3. Pour hot water/bone broth over chia seeds and protein powder while stirring. Continue stirring until completely incorporated.

4. Sprinkle your toppings of choice. Fresh berries, shredded coconut, dark chocolate chips, cacao nibs, sprouted pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, hemp seeds, sun butter, nut butter, almonds - really the sky is the limit!

Notes

• If you are adding some chocolate chips mix any other toppings in first and then add the chips. They will start to melt which is delightful.
