Start your day with a nutritious Banana Yogurt Chia Bowl, combining the omega-3 richness of chia seeds, the creamy goodness of almond milk, and the sweet, comforting flavors of banana and cinnamon. Topped with crunchy cashews, this recipe offers the perfect blend of textures and tastes.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a small bowl or jar, combine 1 oz of chia seeds with 1/2 cup of almond milk.
- Stir the mixture well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
- Let the mixture sit for at least 15 minutes, or until the chia seeds have absorbed the liquid and the mixture has thickened. For best results, you can prepare this the night before and refrigerate.
- If desired, lightly toast the cashews in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden brown. This step enhances their flavor but is optional.
- Allow the toasted cashews to cool slightly, then chop them roughly.
- Peel and slice the banana thinly.
- Once the chia pudding has set, give it a good stir to break up any clumps.
- Transfer the chia pudding to a serving bowl.
- Arrange the banana slices on top of the chia pudding.
- Sprinkle the chopped cashews over the banana slices.
- Finally, dust the bowl with 1 tbsp of cinnamon, adding more or less to taste.
- Enjoy your Banana Yogurt Chia Bowl with Cashews and Cinnamon immediately for a refreshing and nutritious meal!
Tips:
- For a smoother consistency, soak the chia seeds in almond milk the night before.
- Use ripe bananas for added sweetness without needing extra sugar.
- Lightly toast the cashews to bring out their natural flavor and add extra crunch.
- Feel free to customize with other nuts or seeds for added variety.
- Consider adding a spoonful of honey or a splash of vanilla extract for extra flavor.
