Matcha Almond Chia Porridge with Pomegranate

Mornings can be hectic I am not going to lie.  I wait until the last possible minute to wake up leaving enough time for a run and a shower and by the time that is all over there is not much time to make breakfast.  That said though, I never skip breakfast!  I used to when I was a kid (shame on me), but that just doesn’t cut it as an adult.  I need the food to refuel so I can be productive at work and not starving.  Plus I get really crabby when my blood sugar is low.  So, I come up with quick breakfasts that are either made ahead of time, or made quickly.  Smoothies are part of the made quickly group, love them, and who doesn’t love breakfast that tastes like sweet dessert?!  Plus it is easy to hide nutritious things in there.  Chia porridge, can also taste amazing and chia seeds are wonderful for keeping you full and supplying you with your daily omega 3 oils.
