Ingredients
• Serves 2
• ¼ cup (25g) shredded coconut, unsweetened
• ⅓ cup (30g) flaked almonds
• ¼ cup (40g) chia seeds
• ⅓ cup (25g) flaked coconut, unsweetened
• 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
• 1 cup (240ml) hot water
• ½ cup (120ml) full-fat coconut milk
• 2 tbsp (24g) erythritol, or to taste
• 6-8 drops liquid stevia, or to taste
Instructions
1. Directions
2. In a medium bowl, combine the shredded coconut, ⅓ cup flaked coconut, ⅓ cup flaked almonds, and ¼ cup chia seeds. Reserve a small amount of the flaked coconut and almonds for garnish.
3. Stir in the coconut milk, vanilla extract, erythritol, and stevia. Pour in the hot water and mix thoroughly until well combined. Let the bowl sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken the porridge.
4. Divide the warm porridge between two serving bowls. Sprinkle with the reserved flaked coconut and almonds. Top with your favorite low-carb berries (optional) and serve immediately.
