Autumn Spiced Vanilla and Blackberry Chia Pots

Chia puddings are a great high protein start to the day. I’ve tried many over the years and sadly sometimes been left feeling a bit disappointed. Fear not ladies, I now think i’ve found the secret to a beautifully creamy, tasty chia pot and it’s all down to using a mix of coconut yoghurt and almond milk. You can of course use Greek yoghurt if you prefer and are not dairy free. Today I’m stepping into the new season in style with these Autumn Spiced Vanilla and Blackberry Chia Pots.

I like to make the chia base the night before and then it’s ready to go when you’re hungry in the morning. Overnight oats be ware, there’s a new kid on the block with these overnight chia pots! Why not make them in a jam jar and take them to work or the gym?

• As much calcium as half a cup of milk
• More than double the fibre of a cup of oats
• More Omega3 than wild Salmon (100 grams of salmon contain 1.7 grams of omega-3, while 100 grams of chia contain 24.3 grams omega-3.)
