Ingredients
- 1 cup milk can be dairy, coconut or almond as you prefer
- 1 banana
- 1 dash cinnamon optional
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract optional
- 4 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon toasted unsweetened coconut approx, to serve
Instructions
- Place the milk and banana in a food processor or blender. Add cinnamon and vanilla if using. Pulse or blend until smooth. Tip into a dish and add the chia seeds then mix in well. Alternatively, you can add the chia seeds in while the mixture is still in the blender and pulse briefly, but I prefer not to break up the seeds.
- Cover and chill for 20 minutes to allow seeds to swell and soften. You can leave overnight, but it will become a little more grey. Stir the mixture now and then to make sure you don't have pockets of seeds that are not absorbing the liquid and swelling.
- Once the chia have soaked, divide into bowls or glasses. You can optionally top with eg slices of banana and a little toasted coconut. Some chopped dates or date caramel (made by blending soft dates with a little water to make a paste) is also really delicious with this.
