Chia and Prune Pudding Recipe
Try Angela Casley's surprisingly easy chia pudding recipe
Chia pudding is popular on cafe menus at the moment. You may be surprised how easy it is to make. Be creative and adapt it. Prunes are a favourite addition of mine but dates, banana, cinnamon or berries are also scrumptious. Adding nuts and seeds just before serving gives the pudding a crunchy texture. On its own, without any exciting extras, it reminds me a bit of boarding school years ago.
