Notes

Any plant-based milk or regular milk can be used. You can always add sweetener up to 1 tablespoon if this is too non-sweet for you. // Additional sugars that will work are maple syrup, coconut sugar or honey. Gluten-Free and Celiac peeps: remember to always make sure your chia seeds are certified gluten-free. I use nutsdotcom for my chia seeds tested at below 10ppm. // I love making my own homemade coconut milk it makes this breakfast not need any more added sugar because homemade coconut milk is sweet all on its own. // Store bought will work as well, but homemade is better. // If you cannot get fresh vanilla you can also use vanilla powder.  It has been tested with both.  ¼ teaspoon vanilla powder if you omit the fresh vanilla bean.
