Why It Works
  • The chia seeds in this recipe absorb the coconut milk and create a thick, pudding-like consistency. This makes the bowl filling and satisfying, and it helps to keep you feeling full throughout the morning.
  • The coconut milk adds a creamy richness to the bowl, and it also provides a good source of healthy fats. Coconut milk is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, including calcium, potassium, and magnesium.
  • The banana, blueberries, and walnuts add sweetness and texture to the bowl. Bananas are a good source of potassium and fiber, and blueberries are a good source of antioxidants. Walnuts are a good source of protein and healthy fats.
  • The vanilla extract and cinnamon add a touch of flavor to the bowl. Vanilla extract is a classic flavoring agent, and it pairs well with the other ingredients in this recipe. Cinnamon is a warm and inviting spice, and it adds a touch of sweetness to the bowl.
