February 2020: Chia Pudding

This is a simple, throw together the night before recipe, for a quick morning breakfast. It is also a lovely little afternoon pick-me-up and surprisingly filling. This recipe is absolutely packed with nutrients. Chia seeds alone bring an abundance of antioxidants, fiber, calcium, iron, magnesium, omega 3, and so much more. A superfood powerhouse to make you feel amazing.


Chia Pudding
- refined sugar free
- gluten free

60 grams (1/2 cup) of frozen berries. My favorite are cherries, but raspberries are also very, very nice. (You can, of course, use fresh berries. Here in rural Ireland we can't always get access to high quality fresh fruit, so I use frozen).
1/2 of a banana (more ripe if you want more sweetness, more green if you want less sweetness. I prefer green, that way I can add fun toppings without over doing the sugar)
250 ml (1 cup) plant milk (all work well, choose your favorite, preferably unsweetened)
2 Tbsp chia seeds
2 Tbsp gluten free oats
(optional) If you want it less smooth and more bulk, chop up a bit of plum, mango, apple or peach into small chunks and mix in before leaving it in the fridge.

Topping Suggestions:
Granola, nuts and seeds, cacao nibs, cacao powder, fresh fruit, dried fruit, coconut, drizzle of maple syrup, spoon of nondairy yogurt, matcha powder, the sky is the limit...

Mash the banana and berries together until smooth. Add in all other ingredients and mix well. Divide into two containers and leave to sit overnight in the fridge. Go mad with the toppings, this is life after all, and we are here to have fun!
