Ingredients

• 1/4 cup chia seeds (any colour)
• 1 1/2 cups milk / mylk of your choice
• 1 tbsp coconut or olive oil
• 1 small apple or pear (sliced)
• 1 chai teabag or 1/4 teaspoon of turmeric or cinnamon

Combine the chia seeds with the 1 cup of milk in a bowl, mix and set aside for 10-15 minutes (stirring occasionally) until chia seeds absorb the milk. To save time soak the chia seeds the night before.

Meanwhile, heat the oil on medium heat in a pan then add the fruit. Cook for approximately 5 mins or until soft and golden. Transfer to a second bowl.

Add the chia seed, remaining milk and your choice of spices or a chai tea bag to the pan and heat over medium heat until warm. Spoon into 1-2 bowls and top with the cooked fruit, extra cinnamon or turmeric and your choice of yoghurt, nuts & seeds (if desired).
