Recipes are great, but they aren't the law! I use recipes as guidelines. There are times I follow those guidelines strictly and other times when I allow a bit of creativity to enter in. Sometimes my creativity pays off and other times not so much. Today was a payoff day. I wanted a breakfast that had healthy fats, protein, and produce without any starchy foods. Here is what I came up with.
Blueberry Chia Seed Breakfast Pudding
- 1/4 cup coconut milk (healthy fat)
- 1 Tablespoon chia seeds (healthy fat and tons of fiber)
- 1/3 cup blueberries (produce)
- 1 scoop vanilla UMP (protein)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (natural sweetener)
Mixed it all together and let it sit for 10 minutes. It was FANTASTIC!
By the way when Coach Dean asked what I was making he was hoping I would let him have it for dessert. We just might do that. I know that whether we do or not there won't be any complaining. We're signed up for "No Complaining Week". Remember that post on Cr8 Fitness, Healthy, Happy Facebook?
WEEKLY CHALLENGE TIME!
We’ve got a refreshing challenge for you this week that will not only lift your mood, but also the spirits of everyone around you!
It’s no-complaining week! (Cue applause)
I know its not that easy to not complain and I also know you'll be working extra hard this week to stay positive. This Blueberry Chia Seed Breakfast Pudding recipe might be the Bomb or a bomb. Either way keep yourself and other positive by not complaining.
Enjoy Good Food,
Coach Nancy
