Instant Hot Chia Cereal
In our house, we love this tasty combination of nuts, seeds, and fruit: a super filling nutritious quick breakfast or snack. Customize the recipe with your favourite nuts, seeds, and fruit. (Chia seeds are an ancient Mesoamerican super food, high in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, minerals and fiber - one of the most important foods of the Aztecs and Mayans.)
