Gut-loving Probiotic Chia Pudding

Looking for a healthy super speedy cereal alternative?
This sweet, creamy and delicious breakfast takes a mere 5 minutes to prep and is so easy that even my 5 year old can make it all by himself. It is just about as nutritious a breakfast as you can get and can be made the day before, so in the usually crazy manic mornings, it is as quick and easy as simply spooning it into a bowl. One portion provides 302 calories, 13g of protein (the same as 2 eggs) and a massive 15g of fibre, which is over 50% of the daily recommended amount! Not to mention it provides 135% of my calcium and 15% of my daily iron.
I have used Kefir in this recipe which is a pourable cultured yogurt drink that contains gut-friendly bacteria and is a great addition to your diet. There are dairy-free kefir options available too if you have an intolerance. The mighty little chia seed has a range of nutritional benefits like being a great source of plant-based Omega 3s, soluble fibre and protein.
Ingredients
Serves 4
Probiotic Chia Pudding
500ml Kefir (I use Biotiful which is organic and unsweetened)
5 tbsp chia seeds
1-2 tbsp maple syrup (to taste)
Berry Chia Jam
300g frozen berries
3 tbsp chia seeds
1-2 tsp sugar of your choice depending on how sweet/tart the berries are
A squeeze of lemon
Instructions
- For the chia pudding, simply add all of the ingredients together and leave to thicken for 5-10 mins while you prep the berry jam (I usually make the night before).
- Serve with the berry chia jam and a sprinkle of granola on top.
- For the chia jam, put the frozen berries into a medium saucepan with a splash of water at the bottom.
- Gently heat over a low-medium heat until soft.
- Remove from the heat and mash.
- Sprinkle in the chia seeds, sugar and a squeeze of lemon.
- Mix well and leave for 5 mins to thicken.
