Unforgettable Chocolate Chia Seed Super Food Bowl
So good you might want two… we won’t judge
If you know me, then you are well aware that I am a walking mess. As much as I would like to pretend I am a clean and organized person, I am not. Although some people have a hard time with the mess and chaos that comes with it, I love it. I am always experimenting and have no problems making a mess if that means I will find a way to make a recipe even better or get a great picture! Today was one of those days that I started out by making a cool granola bowl, then I got a little crazy with the honey and before you know it, I had honey all over myself and the floor!
In today’s post, I’m excited to share a recipe that comes with a bit of a twist—literally, because the first time I made it, half ended up on the kitchen floor! Despite the mishap, the Chocolate Chia Seed Super Food Bowl turned out to be incredibly delicious, and now I'm here to guide you through making this nutritious treat—mess optional!
Ingredients:
2 tbsp chia seeds
1 scoop chocolate protein powder
1/2 cup soy milk
1/3 cup Greek yogurt
1/2 a banana, sliced (plus more for topping)
Cinnamon krunch (or your favorite granola)
A dash of a superfood blend
Cinnamon for sprinkling
Directions:
Prepare the Chia Pudding: In a medium bowl, mix the chia seeds with chocolate protein powder and soy milk. Stir thoroughly to ensure everything is well combined. Allow this mixture to sit for about 5 minutes, then give it another stir to prevent clumping. Place the mixture in the refrigerator to thicken for at least one hour or overnight.
Layer Your Bowl: Once your chia pudding has reached a pudding-like consistency, grab a serving bowl and begin layering. Pour the chia pudding as the first layer.
Add Fresh Banana: Next, layer half a banana, sliced, over the chia pudding.
Layer the Greek Yogurt: Gently spoon the Greek yogurt over the banana slices, covering them evenly.
Top It Off: Sprinkle your bowl with cinnamon krunch or granola for a satisfying crunch. Add a dash of your superfood blend for an extra nutritional kick.
Final Touches: Top the bowl with additional banana slices and a sprinkle of cinnamon for that final touch of flavor and texture.
Serve and Enjoy: Your Chocolate Chia Seed Super Food Bowl is ready to be enjoyed! Dive into this layered delight and savor each nutritious and delicious bite.
