Mango, Lime and Chia seed Porridge

We cannot say that porridge is the favorite breakfast of the French. With us, it’s more like a good baguette, butter, configure, a croissant and with a cup of coffee. It is true that visually, it is difficult to choose porridge over a good croissant. It looks more like mush (and sometimes a suspicious color…) and in the morning it doesn’t really boost morale.

I discovered chia seeds quite recently and found it magical. The taste and texture is really different from a classic porridge and for me that changes everything. The advantage is that it is rather quick to prepare. Just soak the chia seeds in a little coconut milk and wait a few minutes (you can also do this the day before). Then, it’s up to you to complete it with whatever you like (red fruits, chocolate, almonds, walnuts, apple…).

For this recipe, I chose to garnish my porridge with diced mango, a little lime and a touch of muesli. Nothing very complicated, but the result is there! With this magical breakfast, you can easily get through the morning (it all depends on what time you start it of course!).

Here is the recipe for this mango, lime and chia seed porridge. I hope you enjoy it and give you the strength you need to start your day. Remember to tell me what you thought with a little comment.
