TIPS
Here is a list of ingredients for Blueberry And Chia Protein Breakfast Bowl:
- For Extra Creaminess: For extra creaminess of Blueberry And Chia Protein Breakfast Bowl, soak chia seeds in the water for 10 minutes before blending.
- For Thicker Texture: Use plain Greek yoghurt for a thicker texture and more protein.
- Use Frozen Blueberries: Rinse frozen blueberries quickly before blending to remove any excess frost.
- Use Tamper Function: Use a tamper or pulse function if your blender struggles with frozen fruit.
VARIATIONS
- Vegan Version: Use dairy-free yoghurt and a plant-based protein powder.
- Berry Swap: Replace blueberries with blackberries or mixed berries.
- Fibre Boost: Add 1/2 tablespoon ground flaxseed or psyllium husk.
- Nut-Free Option: Ensure your protein powder is nut-free, so top with seeds instead of granola.
- Citrus Twist: Add a teaspoon of lemon juice to brighten the flavour.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Prepping: Pre-soak chia seeds and freeze blueberries in portioned bags. Keep yoghurt and protein powder pre-measured in small containers.
