The instant preparation instructions make a warm cereal while maintaining a lot of the crunch of the chia seeds and almond chunks. Because you’re eating it within a few minutes of preparation, the flavors of the almonds, coconut, cinnamon and dates are more distinct. If you choose the overnight route, the chia, coconut and flax have more time to pull in water and plump up, but the almond pieces and chia still maintain a nice crunch. The flavors also have
more time to meld and you get a different taste experience – we recommend trying both to decide your favorite!
