I often get asked what I eat for breakfast. I have three go-to breakfast meals: Green smoothies (with either kale or spinach), gluten-free steel-cut oats and chia pudding. They are all easy to prepare and full of fiber and protein. Today, I am sharing my Vanilla Chia Pudding with Banana and Coconut.
I make this quite often with homemade non-dairy milk but you can also use store-bought almond or coconut milk, if you are pressured for time.
