Overnight mango chia breakfast pots
Creating good breakfast habits is often a very hard one to crack! Making ahead is one of the best advice we can give. Those overnight chia breakfast pots take 5 minutes to prepare the day before, keep in the fridge for 2-3 days, are rich in protein to keep you full and can be made with an endless list of fruits! What’s not to like! You can easily make a “pick & mix” batch to suit everyone in the family! Any fresh or frozen fruit can be used! Today’s choice is frozen mango!
ingredients
makes 3 breakfast pots
1/2 cup chia seeds
1 tablespoon Maple syrup
420ml Unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
Frozen mango, thawed (or your choice of fruit)
A few seeds or chopped nuts for topping
method
In a medium bowl add the chia seeds, almond milk and maple syrup and whisk well
Leave to stand for about 30minutes. The mixture should thicken as the seeds absorb the liquid.
In 3 jam jars or equivalent, start layering with the chia mixture first.
Add a layer of fruit
Then add another layer of chia mixture
Finish by topping with extra chopped fruits, seeds and chopped nuts if using
Secure the lid on
Store in the fridge overnight
Keeps in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Be creative and play with the flavours and texture!
the health boost tip
Fresh fruits can be added as they are as a layer.
If using frozen fruit, thaw prior to layering or as I love to do, warm them up as well (in a pan or microwave) to form a jam like layer!
Chia seeds are a great source of protein to keep you full for longer.
