This Persimmon Vanilla Chai Porridge recipe is one example.
A word from Charissa
Chia seeds are such a great way for you to kickstart your morning. Not only are they considered to be a powerhouse of nutrients, but they’re high in fibre, low in carbohydrates and contain a good amount of omega-3 fatty acids. This is a delicious healthy oatmeal alternative with a subtle vanilla persimmon flavour, along with added plant-based proteins.
