Chia Seed Breakfast Pots
Chia seeds are the new super-food that is flooding cookbooks and blogs. They’re full of fibre, omega-3, calcium, protein, phosphorus and much more, and they can be used to help tackle diabetes, heart problems and obesity. So if you’re looking for a nutritious breakfast, simply bung some of these in.
These little pots can be put together the night before so you can gobble it down in the morning without any fuss or bother. I’ve used berries to make the compote and to decorate, but you could use any fruits you like (mango and passion fruit is a really good combo!) You can also present these differently if you want to. I went for jam jars as I think they pretty cool, but you could also just make up the individual elements and serve them up in a bowl if you want.
Recipe
Serves 2
Time 20 minutes, plus chilling time
Ingredients
- 100g Frozen raspberries
- 100g Frozen strawberries
- 100g Frozen blackberries
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 80g Chia seeds
- 450ml Almond milk
- 1 tsp Vanilla bean paste
- 300ml Greek yoghurt/fruit yoghurt of your choice
- A few fresh berries to decorate (I went for cherries, raspberries and blackberries)
- 2 tbsp Granola
Method
- Begin by making the fruit compote. Put the frozen fruits and honey into a small pan and heat gently until they’ve softened and pulpy. Set aside to cool and then put into the bottom of a jar.
- Now make the chia seed middle. Put the chia seeds, milk, and vanilla into a jug and stir with a fork. Let sit for 15 mins then stir again to break up the clumps. Put into fridge for at least 2 hours to set (overnight works well to).
- When the chia seed filling is ready spoon it over the fruit compote. Then take your yoghurt of choice and spoon it over the chia seed filling. Top with granola and fresh fruit and serve!
