YUM! This is a delicious option for breakfast or a snack.
Chia Seeds
Contain protein, omega 3 fatty acids and calcium! The fibre in the chia seeds also lends itself to giving you a great morning poop! Along with its gel like consistency lining the gut to support healing.
Spices
Spices are one of the most underrated GUT and Immune supportive foods! They bring a big kick of flavour, and medicinally contain antiviral and antibacterial properties.
Eggs
I love the addition of the eggs as it boosts the protein content which balances blood sugar levels, keeping our energy even throughout the day. However if you're not an egg fan, you can omit them.
Organic Collagen Powder
Big Fan over here! Containing amino acids (protein), glycinate and glutamine Collagen acts to strengthen and heal the gut lining.

In a large owl, combine the chia and water. Stir and put to the side.
In a pot, add the milk and spices. Bring to a simmer (Not boil) then reduce heat.
Crack in the eggs, and immediately whisk for 3 minutes. (If the milk is too hot it will scramble the eggs)
If using the collagen powder, whisk it in here.
