Good morning! I feel like I’ve been in a bit of breakfast rut, so I pulled out all the stops this morning.
Chia seed pudding + banana soft serve parfait and coffee
I was inspired by my last chia seed success to make this:
- ¼ cup walnuts, soaked in water and drained
- ¼ cup soy milk
- ¼ cup water
- ½ banana
- 1 tbs. dried coconut
- 1 tsp. ginger
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- Sprinkle of nutmeg
…all this went into the blender until smooth. Then I combined it with ¼ cup chia seeds, and stirred every 5 minutes (or so) until it had turned into pudding. I also added a splash more water towards the end because it was looking a little dry. Then just whipped some frozen bananas into banana bliss, and layered into the cup! Easy, peasy, lemon chia squeezy.
Breakfast beauties.
Also, today is my nephew Easton’s 2ndbirthday!
Happy birthday, little man! I hope you get to pet a kitty and eat some cake today!
He is so cute! Happy birthday to him.
Now can you come make me breakfast like that each morning?
What a fabulous parfait!!
And what a cutie pie your nephew is! Happy birthday to him!!
Seriously Katie – make my breakfast every day…Love you, love Easton – have a wonderful Tuesday!
killer. i’m going to have to try your chia pudding. but with apple sauce, cuz raw naners gross me out. unless they’re frozen and whipped into creamy bliss

Aww, happy birthday to your adorable little nephew! I remember when I was little and birthdays used to be so magical. They are still fun, but they just have a different feeling tied to them.
