Pro Tips
- Sauté the hemp and chia seeds in the greased pot for the full 5 minutes — toasting them first brings out a nutty depth that raw seeds lack.
- Stir constantly while the seeds cook; chia thickens fast and sticks to the bottom of the Instant Pot insert.
- Add the almond milk with the vanilla and salt after the seeds are toasted, then cook 5 more minutes until the porridge thickens.
- A few drops of stevia extract and a scattering of fresh raspberries on top turn a simple bowl into a proper breakfast.
