Really cheap and simple to make – you’ll wonder why you ever paid upwards of £2 per pot for these little wonders. Chia pots are so versatile and full of goodness, that you can have them for breakfast, lunch or dessert. Although my children call it frogspawn, I promise it’s not slimy, the outer coating of the chia seeds just swell in liquid.

This lasts for up to 3 days in the fridge, so double-up the chia base, then you can top with any fruit you like.
