i was so excited about my morning off of work and kidlets to have a lil bit'a blog time that i almost forgot to eat breky.  so, whipped up a "quickie" and thought i'd share it.  you should try this delish and nutrish version of "the sexy mason jar breakfast"…derived from memory, like all really good recipes are, from a recipe on sexyfoodtherapy.com.  Melissa Ramos.  love her.  seriously love her. check her website...it is so awesome.  anyway, i think the only difference is that i omit the ground flax seed.  i like the texture  better without it, myself.  hers also calls for ground chia, which i always just use the whole seeds and love.  try both.

ingredients:

2 tbsp chia seeds
2 tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut
2 tbsp nuts and or seeds (i like a mix of chopped almond, sunflower and pumpkin…or pecan, hemp seeds and walnut…just use what you have)
1/2 a chopped apple
1/4 tsp cinnamon
dashes of fresh nutmeg, and cardamom, a couple grated clove buds in there are very good too.
1 scoop of your fave protein powder (i love the vanilla Sun Warrior)
if you have a sweet tooth, add a packet or a few drops of stevia (sub any sweetner you'd like-doesn't really need it though, in my opinion)

and then just fill with boiling water when you are ready to eat.  give it a good slow stir...needs to be mixed up or the chia will clump up a bit.  yu-um.

soooo goood! you can make a few ahead of time to have on hand to take with you to school or work. just mix the dry ingredients in mason jars and chop 1/2 and apple to toss in before you head out the door.  you just need boiling water to mix in when you are ready to eat.   bon appetite!
