I don't know about you, but I'm often on the go a lot and need to take my breakfast along with me - it doesn't help that I'm also one of those people who can't eat straight away after getting up in the morning! I also don't have a lot of spare room in my bag, and these little pots are just perfect for days when you need to head out the door without worrying about bringing along your entire breakfast cupboard. They may only take fifteen minutes to make, but they're fulfilling, incredibly nutritious and a delightfully seasonal mix of flavours that will satisfy every sweet tooth, whilst also having earthy undertones for the savoury lovers. (They're also extremely pretty to look at too, which is obviously so important when you're eating it in your staff room next to your other colleagues!! Expect plenty of remarks coming your way!)

Small but Mighty

Even though they may be tiny, it's so important to remember how beneficial chia seeds are, and just how great they are for your general health. Not only are they extremely high in omega-3, which can help to lower the risks of heart diseases and strokes, but they also contain iron, magnesium, soluble fibre and antioxidants that all help to protect your body cells from free radicals (compounds that can build up and contribute to ageing and cancer), reduce possibilities of obesity and build healthy bones and teeth. So, really, they're an absolute essential. If you're feeling adventurous, these seeds are incredibly versatile and are great sprinkled over salads, blended into smoothies or sprouted to add into salads, but are just as delicious mixed with blended fruits and liquids and turned into healthy breakfast pots or desserts.
