Genuine Whole Chia Seeds ingredient photograph, not the prepared breakfast cup.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons whole food-grade chia seeds
• ½ cup milk of choice
• ¼ cup plain yoghurt, optional
• ½ cup fresh or stewed berries
• 1 teaspoon honey, optional

How to prepare

1. Combine the chia seeds and milk in a clean jar or bowl.
2. Stir thoroughly until all chia seeds are wetted; let stand for approximately five minutes.
3. Stir again to break up any clumps.
4. Cover and refrigerate for at least four hours or overnight so the chia becomes fully hydrated.
5. Top with optional yoghurt, clean fresh berries or safely prepared stewed berries and optional honey just before serving.
6. Serve chilled.

Kitchen notes — fully hydrated chia and chilled storage

Do not consume dry chia seeds directly or in insufficient liquid; seeds swell significantly. This recipe may be unsuitable for people with swallowing difficulties. Introduce fibre gradually with adequate hydration. Use appropriately stored milk and yoghurt; refrigerate promptly throughout soaking, and do not leave the mixture standing at room temperature. The archived source does not provide a validated finished yield or shelf life. The optional dairy ingredients and some plant milks may contain allergens; check labels. Never give honey to children younger than 12 months. No therapeutic claims are made.
