6/7/2019

0 Comments

 
DID YOU KNOW? Chia seeds are a source of omega-3 fatty acids, fibre, protein & antioxidants. They promote better recovery by reducing chronic inflammation associated with high intensity and high volume training. Chia seeds also decrease exercise-induced muscle damage and promote muscle-protein synthesis.
Ingredients (serves 2)
  • 250mL milk
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 3 Tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 Tbsp orange juice
  • 1 tsp orange zest
  • 1 Tbsp maple syrup  (optional)

​Method
  1. To a mixing bowl, add all ingredients. Whisk until combined*. 
  2. Divide mixture into 2 glasses. Cover and refrigerate overnight (or at least a few hours to allow time for it to set).
  3. Enjoy :)

*Don't want to whisk? You could alternatively add all ingredients into a blender and blend until combined.
