For the first time in a long time I am not hungry mid morning due to Chia 'pudding" for breakfast.
I am feeling almost too satisfied so need to cut back on the quantity but essentially I have had 1/4 cup chia seeds soaked overnight in 1 cup of almond or coconut milk. Then topped with a dollop of yoghurt, frozen blueberries, few toasted nuts and some toasted coconut chips. I did do a tiny drizzle of maple syrup as well.
As said, I think I need to reduce the chia a little as I am feeling a little too satisfied but surely a healthy breakfast option.

Does anyone else have chia for breakfast?

Chia seeds are a third fat (100g has 30g of fat) plus coconut milk is a quarter fat so the fat content's probably slowing digestion and creating fullness for longer (and that's not a criticism of fat).

Eek that seems like a lot of fat.
I am still getting my head around high fat diets being OK.
It takes quite a lot of re programming to understand.

I just checked on my coconut milk and it is the So Good brand and mixed with water.
So only 3% fat.
I didn't think it tasted that rich so went to check.
I definitely need to reduce the chia seeds though as at 1pm I was still satisfied.

It seems a shame that you feel satisfied but also that you need to cut back on the chia seeds. If you feel good, why change it. They are all healthy fats in the breakfast I think.

I too occasionally eat chia porridge for breakfast & agree with you about how it does seem to fill you. But I think it may be a combination of the fat content too which will keep you fuller for longer as your body digests it all, whereas carbs/cereal may be absorbed (by some) more quickly. This is my understanding of some of the Banting (low carb, high fat) reading that I have done.
Its a nice breakfast, but does take some pre-organisation as its too late in the morning when I wish that I had soaked the seeds the evening before for my brekkie

Plates I actually felt uncomfortably full and think that by 1pm it is time to feel like eating lunch.

Recently I bought peanut butter with chia in it.
Its delicious, I put it in a smoothy.

I have them added to my bircher muesli, and have made a "porridge" with them. I did not like the one I made so I will try your recipe.

I am trying to eat a more sustaining breakfast and lunch to avoid snacking - it is working, and I am retraining my habits at the moment.

In summer I make these popsicles to have as dessert instead of ice cream. You can use whatever fruit you like:

Raspberry & Coconut Chia Popsicles

 ½ cup lite coconut milk
½ cup unsweetened almond milk
 ¾ cup raspberries
 2 tablespoons chia seeds
 1 tablespoon shredded coconut
 sugar/honey to taste

Combine all ingredients except raspberries in a large container. Mix well and close container; refrigerate 4 hours so the chia expands.  

Spoon the mixture into the popsicle moulds and push a few raspberries to different levels into each mould (use a chopstick).

Put the lids on and freeze for 5-6 hours.

That idli recipe sounds like my type of breakfast over the chia pudding. However, I wouldn't be awake enough to prepare it in the morning!

I like quite a different breakfast from most, I have 2 poached eggs on silverbeet, very yummy and keeps me going well till lunchtime. I have sometimes added a little bacon or ham.

Raspberry porridge with chia seeds

Today, I used the best part of my raspberry shopping for my summer second breakfast. I recommend it for those who only drink coffee in the morning. The rolled oats and chia seeds ensure that it satisfies our hunger very well, and the empty bowl means that you are sorry the dish was so small.

The inspiration for this dish comes from "Smaki zycia" ("Flavour of Life" by Agnieszka Maciag.

Ingredients:
100g of raspberries
3 teaspoons of honey
3 tablespoons of rolled oats
2 teaspoons of chia seeds
decoration
3 teaspoons of natural yoghurt
raspberries, blueberries, banana slices, cashews, sesame seeds
