Vanilla and raspberry chia pots

Some like to have a cooked breakfast to kick start the day, where others may prefer to kick start the morning with a breakfast pot, like the ones pictured here. Perhaps this recipe suggestion may be something you'd like to try? 

'With chia seeds, creamy yogurt and a layer of raspberries, this healthy breakfast tastes so good, you’ll be fooled into thinking you’re eating a delicious dessert,' in fact why not serve it as a dessert ...

Ingredients:
Serves Four
400ml (14fl oz) almond milk
100ml (3 1/2fl oz) natural yogurt
4 tsp honey
1 vanilla pod
100g (3 1/2oz) chia seeds
250g (5oz) raspberries
a few mint leaves to serve

Method:

1. Mix together the almond milk, 60ml (2fl oz) yogurt and the honey. Cut the vanilla pod in half, scrape out the seeds and add them to the mixture. Stir in the chia seeds.

2. Divide the mixture in half. Mash the raspberries (reserving 8) with a fork until they are a purée. Set 100g (3 1/2oz) to one side and stir the rest through one half of the mixture.

3. Chill both mixtures in the fridge for 30 minutes to firm up.

4. Pour the raspberry mixture into 4 jars. Top each with a layer of the remaining mashed raspberries. Spoon the white mixture over the top to give a layered effect.

5. Divide the remaining yogurt between each jar. Finish with a couple of raspberries and mint leaves.
