Instructions
Make the blueberry compote:
- Add frozen blueberries and water to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 3 minutes, then stir. Continue heating in 1-minute intervals until the berries are hot and starting to break down (about 5 minutes total). Stir in the chia seeds and let sit for 5–10 minutes to thicken.
Cook the chia porridge:
- In a small saucepan, stir together the oats, cinnamon, cardamom, chia seeds, and protein powder (if using). Pour in the soy milk, vanilla extract, and maple syrup.
- Heat over medium until it begins to bubble, then reduce to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add a splash of milk if needed to keep it smooth and creamy.
Serve:
- Divide the porridge between two bowls. Top with blueberry compote, fresh strawberries, coconut yogurt, and a drizzle of maple syrup if desired.
