My Breakfast - Chia soaked in Coconut milk, and Garden Smoothie, and a chia bar recipe

Monday morning plenty to do, but first maximize all brain and body functions with some nutritious intake.

Think ahead, last night I threw some chia seeds into a bowl with coconut milk (or raw goat milk, nut milk whatever your preference) and vanilla bean scrapings, for a thick chia oatmeal ready for this morning.
This morning I added mixed berries from the freezer, dried goji, and a bit of honey. So filling and full of C and omega 3.
 "Not only are they gluten/grain free naturally, but one tablespoon of Chia Seeds has more calcium than a glass of milk, more Omega-3s than Salmon, and more antioxidants than blueberries.”

The smoothie stays in budget by using the easy to grow veggies from our garden, mint, chard (snijbiet), rugula (rucola), celery, and the sprouts that we are making from mung beans.
 So all that in the smoothie, then some extras, chlorella, a superfood greens mix, MSM, reishi, acai, resveratrol or ( he shou wu), camu camu, a hemp powder herbal mix, and maca, nettles, kelp, milk thistle (mariadistel), ginger, cinnamon, (kaneel), dandelion (paarde bloem), olive leaf,  maybe some stevia, and the entire thing based in my kefir water.  Blend and drink.

and here's an easy chia seed bar recipe for you.............

Chia Seed Energy Bar Ingredients:

• 6 large Medjool dates
• 1/2 cup Chia Seeds 
• 2 Tablespoons Coconut Oil
• Optional: 1/2 teaspoon natural vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon powderfor taste
• Optional add ins: Dark Chocolate chips, shredded coconut, dried fruit (a couple tablespoons of any add-in)

What to Do:

Remove the pits from the dates and pulse the dates in a food processor or blender until it forms a paste. In a medium bowl, mix the date paste with the chia seeds and coconut oil. It will form a thick dough.

Roll this dough into balls or press into the bottom of a glass or silicon baking dish and cut into squares. It can be eaten immediately in dough-form. We prefer to put it in the fridge or freezer to give it more of a chewy texture. These can be wrapped in wax paper or parchment paper and sent for lunches or snacks.
