Chia seeds are supercharged with anti-inflammatory omega-3s, plenty of fibre to get things moving and a great source of calcium and manganese – both crucial to optimum bone health!
Prep time: 5 mins
Cooking time: None
Serves 1
INGREDIENTS
-
2-3 tbsp chia seeds
-
1 tbsp mixed seeds
-
1 tbsp milled flax seeds
-
1/2 cup nut milk
-
0.5 cup frozen berries
-
1 tsp cinnamon
-
Plant-based yoghurt to garnish
-
Water as needed
METHOD
- Put the chia and seeds into a small mixing bowl
- Add the nut milk and enough water (usually the same amount as the almond milk, but it depends)
- Stir/whisk up and allow to sit for a few minutes. The chia and seeds will start to absorb the liquid
- Add more liquid to ensure the consistency isn’t too dry but also not too wet – it takes a bit of testing to figure out your own preference
- Cover and place in the fridge, allow to set overnight
- In the morning, to serve, spoon out into a bowl
- In a small saucepan, add the frozen berries, some cinnamon and a small amount of water, bring to a simmer in order to soften the berries
- Spoon the berry mix over the chia mix and add a dollop of yoghurt
