Aim to eat Chia Seed Porridge without added sugar. Many of the recipes are naturally sweetened with fruit. If you need a sweetener, try the preferred, low glycemic options: Lo Han/Monk Fruit (Amazon), or Stevia liquid drops. Unrefined sugars options are Maple syrup, Honey, or Coconut sugar. Remember any sugar (esp. refined white or brown sugar) causes inflammation, weight gain, feeds cancer cells and are linked to so many health issue. So, try to decrease your sugar intake each week.
