Papaya, apple and passion with chia - this is a winner!!

Breakfast

If you read my earlier challenge with chia, you'd understand that after coming up with chia strawberry almond porridge , I was pleased. Why fix it if it ain't broke? Then suddenly for the last few weeks the cheaper strawberries have disappeared from supermarket shelves and I don't have time to go hunting for the guys who occasionally roam around sell strawberries around Hurlingham or Peponi Road. But chia must be consumed .... Back to the drawing board .... Again keeping in mind that for breakfast chia needs to be accompanied by fruit that contains a lot of liquid and a lot of flavour as chia needs to soak up liquid and the tasteless mass that it is, it needs help in flavour department. 


Juice 1 apple (mine was a 100 gram apple)
Juice 5 passion fruits (resulted in 75 grams of juice)
Add this to 57 grams milled chia (use a hand held blended to avoid chia clumps)
Add 51 grams of papaya and the roughage that remained in the juicer from apple, blend.

Serve on a plate. Decorating with passion optional as it actually tastes better as is, but it is more photogenic with the passion on it.

The combination of the taste-packing fruits is awesome. I do recommend large cups of green tea to follow the porridge - as you can see it is solid and stands up, which means that chia is far from its saturation point and will keep looking for liquid in you stomach. 

You will enjoy this, may be even too much!
