Title: Keto Chia Seed Porridge
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
– 3 tablespoons chia seeds
– 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or coconut milk)
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder (optional, for chocolate flavor)
– 1 tablespoon peanut butter or almond butter (optional, for added flavor and protein)
– A pinch of sea salt
– A few drops of liquid stevia or erythritol (optional, for sweetness)
– Fresh berries for garnish (such as raspberries or blackberries, in moderation) 
Instructions:
1. In a mixing bowl, combine chia seeds, unsweetened almond milk, vanilla extract, cocoa powder (if using), and a pinch of sea salt. Stir until well mixed.
2. If desired, add liquid stevia or erythritol for sweetness, adjusting to your taste.
3. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and expand. Stir occasionally to prevent clumping.
4. After the time has elapsed, give the chia mixture a final stir. If it appears too thick, you can add a bit more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
5. Spoon the porridge into a bowl and top with a dollop of peanut or almond butter, if desired. Garnish with fresh berries.
6. Serve immediately and enjoy your nutritious, low-carb breakfast.
