The easiest breakfast ever

I love chia puddings. They are my perfect easy go to breakfast. As well as leaving it to rest overnight, I sometimes throw them together in the morning and pop into a large jar or a wide mouth thermos and take it with me. I eat it on the go about an hour or so later.

This is the basic chia pudding recipe, there are so many variations. You can also put in raw cacao, cacao nibs, shredded coconut, different spices and types of milk so you can eat something new every day of the week.

These make a really nice dessert too. Enjoy!
