Sometimes breakfast can be a challenge on the Daniel Fast, especially when you’re used to having yogurt or a bagel and cream cheese with your morning coffee. Here’s a breakfast recipe that requires minimal preparation, is naturally sweet and healthy, and tastes great. The chia seeds also provide a nice amount of protein, and the dates provide energy for your day.
Chai Chia Pudding
A creamy, tasty breakfast dish that gives you a nutritional boost to start your day. It's also perfect for a morning or afternoon snack.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk, unsweetened coconut milk, or water
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 Medjool dates, pitted, chopped
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch of ground cloves
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in blender, and process until smooth.
- Set in refrigerator overnight. Stir well before serving.
Notes
- Top with sliced banana and/or unsweetened shredded coconut flakes.
- Before serving, sprinkle a few chopped almonds or pecans on top.
- To boost the protein content even more, add Daniel Fast friendly protein powder (see my blog post, Protein Powder on the Daniel Fast, for more information).
- To reduce the amount of sugar in this recipe, you can omit one date. Each date contains 16 grams of natural fruit sugar.
- Add 1 tablespoon Date Honey to almond milk and chia seeds before blending instead of using 2 chopped dates.
