This little jar makes the perfect grab and go breakfast. A mix of chia seeds and flaxseeds makes this pudding-like breakfast a great alternative to overnight oats. I’ve chosen to use seeds instead of oats as they are higher in satiating healthy fats and lower in carbohydrates. And of course, this is a great recipe to prep so it’s ready in the fridge to grab and go. You can even enjoy it both cold and hot! To serve, top with some yoghurt (this will boost the protein content) and your favourite fruits. For lower sugar options, go for berries and kiwi!
