If your breakfast isn't feeding your gut...
You're missing one of the easiest opportunities to improve your nutrition.
This mixed berry chia pudding is packed with fibre, protein and colourful plant compounds that help support a healthy gut microbiome.
Chia seeds: tiny seeds, massive benefits
Chia seeds absorb liquid to form a gel that's rich in soluble fibre.
This helps support digestive health while keeping you fuller for longer.
Why berries matter
Berries are loaded with antioxidants and polyphenols.
These natural compounds help feed beneficial gut bacteria while adding vibrant colour and flavour.
Layer on the goodness
Creamy yoghurt adds protein and beneficial live cultures.
Homemade granola brings crunch, fibre and healthy fats.
The result?
A breakfast that's as satisfying as it is nourishing.
The recipe
Ingredients
- ½ cup Chia seeds
- 2 cups Buttanutt Almond Milk/ any milk
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 3 cups Mixed berries
- 1 tbsp Cinnamon
- 1 tbsp Lemon
- Greek yoghurt
- Homemade granola
Method
- Add your milk to your chia seeds and let it soak for a few hours until most of the liquid is absorbed.
- Make your berry compote by gently simmering your berries, some lemon juice, cinnamon and a splash of water over the stove. It’s ready when the mixture takes on a jam-like consistency. Let it cool.
- Layer your chia seeds, yoghurt and berry compote, top it off with some granola and enjoy!
The takeaway
Fibre doesn't have to be boring.
Sometimes it's colourful, creamy and tastes like dessert.
