A little bit extra

The amount this makes can either be split into two breakfast portions or can be split into 4 snack portions. It’s a yummy snack which will satisfy your mid-afternoon sugar crave and keep you full until dinner.

Chia seeds are a great source of fibre which is so important for digestive health. A 2 tbsp serving of chia seeds has approximately 8 grams of fibre in which is about 1/3 of the recommended daily amount – not a bad start to the day!!
