• 2 tbsp / 24 g chia seeds
• ½ cup / 120 ml water
• 1 cup / 240 ml unsweetened almond milk
• 1 tsp / 4 g Swerve or preferred keto sweetener

• ¼ tsp / 1.5 g salt
• Fresh raspberries, for topping (optional)
Instructions
1. Directions
2. In a small saucepan or the inner pot of a multi-cooker set to ‘Sauté’, melt the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the hemp seeds and chia seeds, stirring for 1-2 minutes until lightly fragrant. Pour in the water and stir constantly for 3-4 minutes as the mixture begins to thicken.
3. Reduce the heat to low and pour in the almond milk. Stir in the Swerve, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined. Let the porridge gently simmer for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it reaches your desired creamy consistency.
4. Turn off the heat. Carefully transfer the hot porridge into two serving bowls. Garnish with fresh raspberries, if desired, and serve immediately.

Pro Tips
• For a thicker, more pudding-like consistency, let the porridge rest for 5 minutes off the heat before serving. The chia seeds will continue to absorb liquid and gel.
• Easily customize the flavor by adding ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon or a tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder along with the sweetener.
• This porridge is perfect for meal prep. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of almond milk to loosen it up.
• Boost the nutty flavor by toasting the hemp seeds in the dry pot for 60 seconds before adding the coconut oil and chia seeds.
