Hertfordshire, HitchinChia Naturally Healthy, pancake stacks in Hitchin

What we ate

Choosing what to eat at Chia Naturally Healthy is always a mission in itself, even though I have tried most of the dishes on the menu. It also offers an all day breakfast alongside a packed brunch menu which means visitors are spoilt for choice.

We shared two portions of the Organic Blueberry Cinnamon Pancakes and the Superfood Protein Porridge. The pancakes are stacked high with fluffy gluten-free batter topped with warm blueberry compote, a healthy dose of almond mixed with cashew butter , a wedge of lemon and a sprinkling of cinnamon.  We added some granola on top, too, as it’s so crunchy and sweet. Think lots of caramelised nuts and seeds!

The superfood porridge is exactly what everyone needs on a cold winter’s morning.

With a choice of mylk, I chose oat and the thick, hearty and chewy oats were topped with a dusting of mixed nuts, seeds and other superfoods with blueberries.

What we’d go back for

Everything! The pancakes are the best stacks I’ve eaten out and I also love their avocado toast. But then there is also their fresh salad bar and daily array of raw and baked sweet treats. As of Spring 2019, Chia will boast a much larger space which is good news as their food is always in high demand.
