Chia seeds are high in protein and keep you fuller for longer, making them a perfect breakfast option. You can have these puddings hot or cold, depending on the time of year.

Serves: 1

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons of chia seeds 
• I cup of nut milk (such as almond milk)
• 2 tablespoons cacao powder
• Himalayan sea salt to taste
• ¼ cup of agave syrup
• 1 small banana

Method:

1. Mix the ground chia seeds, cacao, agave syrup and nut milk in a bowl and pop in the fridge for a few hours (or overnight) to make a gel.

2. Whisk the mixture once or twice during the standing time to prevent the seeds clumping together, add a little extra milk if this happens.

3. Either serve cold with chopped banana and cacao nibs on top or during winter months, heat gently in a pan, not to boiling, and serve.  

Top tip: A cup is 250ml
