I must admit I have been very late getting into chia seeds. That was until I found a local shop where I could buy them so I instantly stocked up. I have been adding them to my smoothies and juice but also making delicious breakfasts such as this one. It is so simple and easy to make, it is also great to make the night before if you have to rush to get out of the door in a morning. I don’t add any sweetness to this as I think the fruit adds enough but if you would like it to be sweeter 2 teaspoons of maple syrup would work perfectly too.
I make this version using coconut yogurt mixed with either plant based milk or coconut water. My favourite coconut yogurt to make this with is Co Yo. Their yogurts are incredible, so rich and creamy. I used the plain in this recipe but any of the other flavours would be great too.

So funny, I just barely tried chia seeds for the first time last week too! And now I’m hooked. I’ll have to give this version a try!
I hope you enjoy it! I’m glad I’m not the only one who has only just discovered them! H x
Wow wow wow! I love the addition of kiwi on top. One of my all time favorite fruits!
I’m glad you like it! I love kiwi too and it goes really well with the coconut! H x
That looks so pretty and delicious! Thanks for sharing 🙂

Hi Kim! You should give them a go, they are so good for you and very easy to incorporate into your meals, even just sprinkling them on top of your breakfast or mixing them into water! H x
