The health benefits of this humble seed are many, from lowering cholesterol to helping with weight control by promoting satiety and improving intestinal health to name a few.

We normally whip up a batch of four double servings to stash in the fridge—perfect for busy days, passages or on-the-go adventures, lasting up to 5 days in a fridge.
- 2 tbsp Chia seeds
- 1/2 cup Milk of choice
- drizzle Maple Syrup / Honey
- Seasonal Fruit
- Granola
- Protein Powder
- Honey/Maple Syrup
- 1. Gather all equipment and ingredients
Have everything you need handy, measuring cup, measuring spoons, plant-based milk, sweetener and chia seeds.
- 2. Add chia, milk and sweetener of choice
For a family of 4, I usually octuple the quantity. The key ratio is 1/2 cup of milk to 2 tablespoons of chia for 1 serving.
- 3. Mix very well and leave it to set
Mix chia and milk and leave it to gel. After 5-8 minutes mix again to prevent chia from clumping. At this stage, you can pop it into your fridge or if this is for that morning then assemble it into your jar in your favourite combination.
- 4. Assemble in your favourite jar
Layer your favourite fruit, protein powder, chocolate, granola, adjust for sweetness if needed and enjoy.
