Peanut & Raisin Chia Cereal [#2]
Why Make It?
Eating chia seeds without soaking allows for a range of textures; from crunchy in the beginning of the bowl to soft and gelly at the bottom. This is so much better than Chia Pudding.
This recipe is no harder to make than a normal bowl of cereal but with better nutrition and flexibility. Like fresh fruit or granola? Throw it in.
Raisins and Peanuts make a nostalgic pairing playing off the classic peanut butter and grape jelly.
Keys to Success
Chia seeds need to be seasoned with salt. You will notice a big difference with such a small addition.
Don't soak the chia seeds. Eating after adding the milk allows all the addition to shine while still getting the best chia seeds have to offer.
