Strawberry Almond Porridge

Tags: Dairy-free, Desserts, Egg-free, Gluten-free, Grain-free, LCHF, Low Carb, Snacks, Sugar-free, Under 30 Minutes, Vegan, Vegetarian

I made you Strawberry Almond Porridge. Because I often wake up thinking things like, “I wonder what would happen if I threw a pile of chia seeds in my Vitamix and spun the living daylights out of them?”, or, “I wonder if soaked chia seeds would make a good base for ice cream?”, which leads to, “If I used chia seeds as an ice cream base, I wonder what will happen when I churn it?”. Sometimes I wish I could turn my brain off. Or at least put it on pause so that I can catch up with the 324 draft posts I have sitting in my folder. I wish I were joking about the draft post situation.

So with chia seeds on my mind I whipped this up for you. In full disclosure this is a recipe I created years ago before I embarked on my keto journey, so it wasn’t keto enough for y’all. Thus, I tweaked, and the Strawberry Almond Porridge has once again become a keto staple at the Brown house. It’s fast, simple, easy and delicious. Plus, it makes cereal seem like chomping on cardboard. And no-one wants to do that.

Whip it up the night before so it’s ready the instant your feet hit the floor – bar finding a clean spoon and giving it a quick stir. I often make a huge batch on a Sunday night, divide it into Pyrex glass bowls and stack them in the ‘fridge. Then, as I zoom through the kitchen on my way out the door in the morning, I grab one. 20 minutes later I am at my desk enjoying a sweet bowl of scrumptious keto yum. Even quicker than cereal. HA.

The texture is creamier and softer if made the night before. One more night-before advantage – you can throw in the frozen fruit and voila! When you pad bleary-eyed into the kitchen, the fruit is defrosted, the chia seeds are soft, and the texture is thick and creamy. A swift stir and your porridge is done.

I’ve also served this up for dessert to a chorus of “Yum!”s around the table. If you do a big batch once a week you will also have a stash in the ‘fridge for those scary moments when you get the munchies and want something sweet. Whip out a bowl of this and you’ve got a super keto snack right at your fingertips.

Keto over cereal EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
