Legend has it that in the misty dawn of time, our cave-dwelling ancestors would gather around a communal fire and savor the warmth of a hearty porridge made from whatever nature provided. Our Primordial Paleo Porridge pays homage to this ancient culinary tradition with a modern twist. We've swapped out the grains for chia seeds, a superfood packed with fiber, protein, and omega-3 fatty acids, making this porridge not only delicious but also incredibly nourishing. The almond milk adds a creamy richness, while the coconut flakes bring a tropical flair that transports you to a sun-drenched beach. It's the perfect breakfast for those who seek both sustenance and adventure.

Why It Works
Chia seeds are the unsung heroes of this porridge. They absorb liquid and swell up, creating a satisfyingly thick and creamy texture without the need for grains or thickeners.
Almond milk provides a subtly sweet and nutty flavor, making this porridge creamy and rich without the heaviness of dairy.
Coconut flakes lend a delicate tropical note and add a touch of exotic flair to your morning bowl.
Cinnamon and sea salt are the secret flavor enhancers. Cinnamon brings a warm spiciness while sea salt balances the sweetness, creating a harmonious symphony of flavors.
