6. Allow mixture to thicken for about 4-5 minutes, continuing to stir.
7. Remove from heat, add flax and hemp seeds, stir to combine.
8. Serve with milk of choice and fresh berries.
9. Store in airtight container in fridge for up to 5 days.

Notes:

1. To make this easy for on-the-go: scoop mixture into muffin liners or small single-serve containers. 
2. If you are egg-free, you can omit the eggs and use protein powder instead such as Collagen Peptides.
