Serves: 2-3 portions
This recipe is one you can mostly prepare the night before so is good for those who are busy in the mornings.
Chia seeds are listed on here but are not essential – if you leave them out reduce the milk a little. You can usually find them in good supermarkets in the health food area or with the nuts and seeds.
Once you have got the right consistency in this recipe, feel free to change the fruit, maybe use half milk and half apple juice, use some nuts instead of seeds – play with it and make it your own.
