This makes a great breakfast or pudding.

Chia seeds are a great source of healthy omega-3 fats, fibre, protein, and other nutrients.

• 200ml unsweetened milk of your choice (to make suitable for vegans use plant-based milk, such as coconut milk from a carton)
• 1 teaspoon sweetener of your choice (I often use maple syrup or a chopped-up Medjool date)
• 3 tablespoons chia seed.

Place all the ingredients into a glass jam jar, mix and cover with a lid and leave it in the fridge overnight.

In the morning, top with a little fruit, such as blueberries or strawberries and enjoy.

I often play around with this recipe.  In the winter months, I sometimes like to add a level teaspoon of mixed spice powder to give it a warming festive feel.   Or try adding a tablespoon of cacao powder and enjoy it as a chocolaty dessert.
