Ingredients




1/4 cup of chia seeds
1 cup of brazil milk (or another nut/seed milk of your choice)
Few drops of vanilla stevia (or alcohol free vanilla extract)
Grated zest of half a lemon
Handful of sesame seeds
2 handfuls of blueberries
Drizzle of maple syrup or honey

Preparation

1 Mix the chia seeds and milk in a jar with a lid (a kilner jar is perfect). Make sure the lid is on tight! 2 Shake well to mix. Leave the jar in the fridge for a minimum of an hour (longer is better, you could use slightly less milk, 1 cup, if leaving for under 2 hours). 3 A great tip is to make it before you go to bed, leave in the fridge overnight, and you'll have it ready for breakfast when you wake up! 4 Dress with the grated lemon zest, sesame seeds, blueberries and maple for a delicious taste sensation that you'll never get from plain old cereal!
