Recipe: Overnight chia seed puddings

September 12, 2016 by Shari 14 Comments

As a Mum, I am often running around trying to get the most into my boys for breakfast that my breakfast is often pretty crappy. It’s only when I am growing another little person/ breast feeding another little person, that I actually start to think about what I am putting into my body in the morning. 

The beautiful Amanda from ‘Cooking for busy Mums’ sent me out a copy of her latest cookbook and I found the simple recipe for overnight chia pudding in there. I mixed up the recipe by swapping 100mls of milk for 100mls of almond milk – but I really love what goes on top of the bowls to mix it up morning.

OVERNIGHT CHIA PUDDINGS {adapted from ‘Cooking for Busy Mums’}

3 tbsps of greek yoghurt
3 tbsps of chia seeds
100mls of almond milk
1 tsp of vanilla bean paste
1 tsp of honey
1 handful of raspberries

My favourite toppings; fresh strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, banana, coconut flakes and LSA

Pop the greek yoghurt, chia seeds, almond milk, vanilla, honey and raspberries into a plastic container with a well fitting lid. Shake, shake, shake – so that everything is well combined and then refrigerate overnight. Scoop as much as you’d like for breakfast into a bowl and then top with your favourite fresh toppings.

** I doubled this quantity and it made enough chia pudding for 4 days worth of breakfasts.

I feel like it’s platter season - however with Covid-19 around we haven’t been getting out and about nor have we been having as many guests as normal.

I was really hoping that we were going to be able to get the opportunity to catch up with people that we hadn’t seen, but it’s not really panning out that way.

Here is a platter from New Years Eve - when some other friend’s plans got cancelled which meant that they were able to pop in and see us (as they were a family of four).

What’s your key to the perfect platter?

I actually always made savoury French toast until I met my husband. To me, French toast was eaten with tomato sauce and we never added sugar.

Now my kids think the only way to eat French toast is sweet - topped with Nutella 😋

Shari from GoodFoodWeek

GoodFoodWeek started in 2008 as a way of sharing recipes with uni friends and family who were spread near and far. It has evolved over the years to contain my ramblings as I’ve searched for a house, planned the perfect veggie patch, stumbled through farmer’s markets with my eye half open (because you need to be there at 6am to get the fresh eggs), had babies, gathered family and friends around a shared table, laughed out loud and enjoyed life to the fullest!
