Chia Coffee Pudding

Looking for a healthy pudding, with a little bit of a caffeine kick as well? This great little recipe uses chia seeds as the thickener, which means that not only is this recipe healthy but is packed full of protein and fibre.

Don’t forget all of those Omega 3 fats, which are great for heart health and brain. Also antioxidant-rich, plus iron and calcium. What does this all add up to? An energising and delicious breakfast to enjoy with some fresh fruit or a tasty dessert!
