Breakfast / Raw Coconut Chocolate Chia Porridge
We’ve gotten lots of request for more recipes with chia seeds. In this one, we use chia seeds to make a super tasty and nutritious porridge.
This is one of my favorite recipes, the combination of the chia seeds and tahini, with the crunch of the cacao nibs, and desiccated coconut makes it a beautiful taste experience. And, of course, it’s loaded with antioxidants, omega 3’s fiber and protein, so it’s great for you!
Coconut Chocolate Chia Porridge (Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Raw)
Serves: 2 Servings
Ingredients:
- 2 Tbsp tahini
- 1 Tbsp raw unsweetened cacao nibs
- 2 Tbsp desiccated coconut
- 5 Tbsp chia seed
- 1 Tbsp unsweetened cacao
- 1-2 Tbsp coconut palm sugar
- ½ cup blueberries, or your favorite berry
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
- ½ cups unsweetened almond milk
- ¼ teaspoon healthy salt (like Celtic salt or Himalayan salt)
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
Directions:
Mix tahini, cacao nibs, desiccated coconut, chia seed, cacao, salt cinnamon and 1 tablespoon coconut palm sugar with 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk. Stir ingredients until you get a thick and creamy consistency. Add more almond milk if it’s too thick.
Add more coconut palm sugar if you require more sweetness. Serve in a bowl and top with berries and sesame seeds or your favorite toppings. Other great toppings include nuts, and coconut yogurt.
Optional: warm the almond milk first on those cold autumn mornings.

Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Mint Chocolate Superfood Snack Balls
Serves: 18 balls
Ingredients:
- 1 cup cashews
- 1 cup almonds
- 2 Tbsp chia seeds
- 2 Tbsp hemp seeds
- 3 Tbsp raw organic cacao powder
- 3 Tbsp extra virgin coconut oil
- 2 Tbsp coconut palm sugar
- 1 Tbsp stevia
- 1 tsp spirulina (optional)
- 1/2 tsp peppermint extract
Directions:
Combine cashews, almonds, chia and hemp seeds together in food processor until well ground.
Add remaining ingredients until well combined.
Form balls by shaping mixture in the palm of your hand. Store in fridge to harden.
Makes approximately 18 balls (depending on how much mix you eat along the way!)
Tip: If you live in a cool climate, you may like to melt coconut oil prior to adding to mixture. The best way to do this is using the double boiler method and keep heat low. Place coconut oil in heat-proof bowl into a pot of water. Heat slowly until coconut oil liquifies.
