Recipe: Overnight chia seed puddings

September 12, 2016 by Shari

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.

Family meals for my tribe of 6
Hi guys 👋🏻 I seem to have had a few new foll Hi guys 👋🏻 I seem to have had a few new followers of late. I wonder if you’re here because of my reels?? (And if so, you’ll probably also want to follow @smallbusinessgrowthclub )

If you are new… here is a little intro… I’m Shari - a mum of four small boys (although their little hands seem to be getting better and bigger). They are nine, seven, five and three.

I whip up quick and easy meals for my family. I currently work full time and so the content juggle is real 😩

But the thing is, I actually also have a blog - www.GoodFoodWeek.com.au - so you can drop by there for some of my tried and tested favourites. I’m fact, this Spanish beef is one of the most viewed recipes on the blog!

And if you aren’t new - I’d love to hear what are some of your favourite recipes from my blog.

I feel like the boys have had an overload of chocolate and I want to take it back to healthier alternatives… 

But in our household, I feel like everyone goes through stages. One week they’ll eat all the bananas in one day, so the following week I’ll order 3kgs instead of 1kg and no one will eat banana 🤦🏼‍♀️

I mean, I freeze them for smoothies or make banana bread so they don’t go to waste. 

But I’m keen to hear what snacks are popular in your household at the moment?

I’ve been reading a lot about self love of late. I feel like there is so much self sacrifice when you’re a mother, and yet I am starting to realise that I need to love myself first to be a better mum and partner.

So here is to starting with something small for me. These @byronbaycookies are the business!!

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!
