Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Overnight Chia Pudding (No-Cook Option)

  1. Mix the base: In a jar, combine chia seeds, almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla. Stir well.
  2. Let it set: Refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight) until thick and pudding-like.
  3. Top & enjoy: Add fresh berries, granola, or a drizzle of nut butter before serving.

Pro Tip: For a creamier texture, stir once after 30 minutes to prevent clumping.

  2. Add wet ingredients: Stir in mashed banana, egg, and milk until just combined.
  3. Cook: Heat a non-stick pan, pour ¼ cup batter per pancake, and cook until bubbles form (2-3 min per side).
  4. Serve warm with a drizzle of honey or fresh fruit.

Pro Tip: Let the batter rest for 5 minutes for fluffier pancakes!

3. Avocado & Egg Toast (Protein + Fiber Combo)

  1. Toast the bread until golden and crisp.
  2. Mash avocado with lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Spread on toast.
  3. Cook eggs to preference (poached, scrambled, or fried).
