Toppings: Blueberries, raspberries, chopped walnuts, ½ kiwi and ¼ chopped banana

 

Method:

Take a bowl and add the chia seeds, then add the water and stir.  Leave for 1 hour to soak water and stir again.  The mixture should be gloopy and not too runny. Leave overnight if you like and then separate one portion into your bowl.

Add enough almond milk to loosen the mixture to your liking, cinnamon, cacao powder and collagen or protein pwoder then stir. 

Add a layer of yoghurt and then the toppings.

If you fancy a warm breakfast you can gently warm the chia mixture before adding the yoghurt, nuts and fruit.
