How To Make Chia Coffee

If you want to wake up and enjoy the rich flavor of coffee intertwined with the subtle sweetness of bananas and the unique texture of chia seeds, you’ll want to make this recipe! Embrace the season with this fun and flavorful morning treat that will make you look forward to getting out of bed. So let’s dive into the recipe and hopefully it will become a staple in your morning routine!

Ingredients

• 1 Banana
• 1 Teaspoon Instant Coffee
• 2 Tablespoons Chia Seeds
• 1/4 Cup Nut Milk
• 1/4 Cup Nut Pods Cookie Butter Creamer

Chia Coffee Step-By-Step

Mash the Banana: Start by mashing one banana with a fork. I like to mash the bananas well so there aren’t small pieces left, but if you prefer thicker banana pieces, mash the baba as a little less.

Combine Ingredients: In a glass jar or cup, combine half of the mashed banana, instant coffee, chia seeds, and nut milk. Stir the mixture until everything is well combined.

Refrigerate: Place the jar or cup in the refrigerator for 5 minutes. You can refrigerate it for longer if you prefer. This mixture also tastes delicious and sets thicker if left overnight.

Prepare the Topping: After the chia base has been refrigerated, add the other half of the mashed banana on top.

Add Creamer: Whisk or steam the Nutpods Cookie Butter creamer until it’s frothy. Then, pour it over the top of the mashed banana.

Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle a little instant coffee or cocoa powder on top. Stir gently and enjoy your Chia Coffee!

Chia Seeds In Coffee?

You might be curious about what inspired this delightful morning treat! Growing up, my sister and I were obsessed with Mamma Chia drinks. If you haven’t tried them, they’re these amazing fruity beverages packed with chia seeds that create an incredible, boba-like texture. This fall, I’ve been experimenting with fun coffee recipes, and that’s how this Chia Coffee came to be. I couldn’t be happier with the result! The creaminess from Nutpods Cookie Butter creamer and banana adds a perfectly balanced sweetness. When combined with coffee, nut milk, and those tiny chia seeds, it’s sheer perfection. To elevate it further, I’ve been pulling an extra shot of espresso, pouring it over the chia-coffee mixture, adding the other half of the banana, and topping it with whisked cream. Now that’s what I call a Chia Coffee—a fantastic breakfast and latte all in one!

Are Chia Seeds Keto?

Yes, chia seeds are keto-friendly! These tiny seeds are packed with fiber and healthy fats, making them an excellent addition to a low-carb, high-fat keto diet. With only about 1 gram of net carbs per tablespoon, chia seeds help you stay in ketosis while providing essential nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and protein. Whether you sprinkle them on your salads, mix them into your smoothies, or incorporate them into recipes like this delicious Chia Coffee, chia seeds can enhance your keto lifestyle while keeping your meals nutritious and satisfying.

Avoid Skipping Breakfast With Chia Coffee

As a coffee lover—I know it’s easy to replace breakfast with coffee. I’m definitely guilty of that on the mornings I’m in a hurry! So, in a world where time is often of the essence, it’s easy to overlook the importance of breakfast. However, the benefits it provides are too significant to ignore. Breakfast provides the essential energy, focus, and nutrition required for a productive and fulfilling day! If you’ve been under nourishing yourself in hopes of losing weight, I want to encourage you to think long term!

A balanced breakfast may help regulate appetite and can help prevent overindulging during later meals, contributing to weight management and overall health. A well-rounded breakfast should include a mix of carbohydrates, proteins, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals.

It not only benefits our physical health but also supports our mental well-being and sets the stage for a lifetime of healthy eating habits. So, let us not underestimate the significance of this morning routine and make it a priority to nourish our bodies and minds with a well-balanced breakfast each day!

The Best Espresso Machine

When Noah and I got married in February—we were gifted an espresso machine. I think it’s one of my favorite things we have in the kitchen! It’s the Breville Bambino and goes on sale pretty often!
