If you would have told me three or four years ago that I would be eating this kind of cereal for breakfast and “enjoying” it, I would have thought you were crazy. Who eats what looks like bird seed for breakfast? Really?? Well, I do now 🙂 I really enjoy it!
I can not say that I came up with this cereal completely on my own. It was inspired by Holy Crap cereal. I kept adding extra ingredients. You don’t need much in your bowl and you stay filled for hours.
Healthy Chia Nut Cereal (Paleo/ Gluten Free/ Grain Free/ Vegan)
1 1/2 c. chia seeds
1 c. hemp hearts
3/4 c. chopped almonds (or desired nuts)
1/2 c. dried pumpkin seeds ( or desired seeds)
1/2 c. dried apple pieces– cut up (or desired dried fruit)
1/4 c. dried cranberries
1 Tbsp. cinnamon
Mix all ingredients together and store in a sealed container in the refrigerator.
For a serving try 2 Tbsp. of cereal and mix 4 Tbsp. of desired milk alternative.
For other breakfast ideas try: Berry Smoothie, Apple Quinoa Breakfast, Grainfree Waffles, Ham and Veggie Frittata.

You are right this does look like bird seeds. But the ingredients do sound yummy. I would be willing to try this out! What a great alternative for traditional breakfast cereal.
I don’t know what hemp hearts are, but this recipe looks good! I’m off to google it! Thanks for sharing!

Hemp Hearts are a Non GMO seed containing plenty of plant protein as well as Omegas.
Ha! I’ve been accused of eating birdseed before. It was during a millet phase. 🙂 Thanks for sharing this cereal at Raw Foods Thursdays!
This is some serious YUM! Thanks for linking up at our Gluten Free Fridays party! I have tweeted and pinned your entry to our Gluten Free Fridays board on Pinterest! 🙂
