The superfood known as chia dates back thousands of years, to early Aztec history. This is a food that has become very popular lately, thanks to the powerful nutrients it contains and the benefits it offers. Chia seeds are entirely free from gluten and high in protein, and they have tons of dietary fibre. They are also a rich source of Omega 3.

Now you can see why we classify them as superfoods. It’s an excellent breakfast choice, and since they are pretty mild, you can combine them with a lot of different flavours and foods to make for some great combinations. We are going to show you how you can make chia pudding that will set overnight and be ready for you to have for breakfast.

For basic chia, we use a half cup of chia (and it doesn’t matter what kind you use, as the nutritional value is the same) for every two cups of liquid. Mix the chia and the liquid together and wait for it to thicken. You can leave it to set for about 15 minutes, stirring every so often. Then leave it in the fridge for at least two hours, but overnight is fine as well.

Your chia will last for a few days in the refrigerator, and you can place it in jars or containers that are airtight. Then, when you are ready to eat it in the morning, just add in your favourite topping- nuts, fruit, coconut, yoghurt, muesli or whatever.
