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.
