Why You’ll Love It

The Shortcut That Makes It Work
There is no cooking at all. You stir everything together in a jar and the fridge does the work overnight, so breakfast is ready and waiting when you wake up.
Handy Tips
Use a jar with a lid so you can give it a good shake to mix. The chia helps it thicken overnight, so do not skip it if you can help it. If it is too thick in the morning, loosen it with a splash more milk. Make a few jars at once to set yourself up for the week.
Make It Your Way
Use whatever milk you like, dairy or a plant milk both work. Sweeten with honey or maple syrup, as much or as little as you like. Stir through some cinnamon, cocoa, or mashed banana before it sets for a change.
What To Serve With It
Top with fresh fruit, berries, a spoon of jam, nuts or a drizzle of extra honey. Lovely as it is straight from the jar.
How to Store It
Keep it covered in the fridge. It is best within a few days, so it is a good one to make ahead for the week. Give it a stir before eating.
