Another take on Bircher, chia makes a tasty breakfast pudding. Rich in fibre, these little pearls take five minutes to turn into a tasty breakfast and will last in the fridge for up to five days. Great for getting your mornings sorted in one bowl. It's also gluten, dairy and refined sugar-free, so it's perfect for pretty much everyone.
