Who doesn't like chocolate for breakfast ....
Long gone are my breakfast's of toast and jam/marmite or more often than not, my skipping breakfast completely !!
After resting all night your body needs to 'break' the 'fast'. Why not ditch the toast & jam and fuel up on something worth eating .....
Start your day with a big glass of spring water with a squeeze of lemon. Your body can become dehydrated overnight & a glass of warm (or cold) water (with lemon) kick-starts your digestive system back into life. After hydration comes nutrients. Common breakfast foods, such as commercial cereals or fried animal products, tend to contain high amounts of calories, with few, powerful nutrients.
You can fly higher with chia.....
Some interesting facts about chia seeds.

Chocolate-Maca Coconut Chia Porridge 1/2C chia, soaked overnight in 1.5C non-diary milk (I use almond).
1/2C nut milk 2tsp cacao powder 1tsp maca powder 1tsp xylitol
1/2tsp chaga (optional) 1/4tsp he shou wu (optional) 1/2Tbs coconut mana/butter Blitz in blender
Add a large scoop of your soaked chia to the milk blend & stir well.
Add your preferred toppings. I love chopped, sour cherries, cacao nibs, coconut flakes, bee pollen, goji’s and sour golden berries.
The soaked chia lasts me for 3-4 breakfasts. This one of my favorite morning meals.
