Why Mānuka Honey?
Mānuka Honey isn’t just a sweet treat—it's a powerhouse ingredient for your health. Thanks to its high MGO (methylglyoxal) content, Mānuka Honey offers incredible antibacterial properties that can help support your digestive system, boost immunity, and give your body the natural energy it needs. When combined with chia seeds, which are rich in fibre and omega-3 fatty acids, this Mānuka Honey chia pudding is a breakfast that's not only tasty but functional too!
Ingredients:
- 3 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk of your choice)
- 1 tbsp Mānuka Honey (adjust for your desired sweetness)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Fresh berries or fruit of your choice (optional, for topping)
- A sprinkle of granola (optional, for added crunch)
Instructions:
- Mix the Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl or jar, whisk together the chia seeds, almond milk, and vanilla extract.
- Sweeten It Up: Stir in the Mānuka Honey until fully dissolved. Make sure to adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more or less honey.
- Let It Set: Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and form a creamy, pudding-like texture.
- Serve and Top: Once your chia pudding has set, give it a good stir. Top with your favourite fresh berries or fruits, and a sprinkle of granola for that perfect crunch!
