Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, to fuel you up ready for whatever you may be doing... Training, working, exploring, baking?  Here are 8 great chia charged breakfast recipes

1. Muesli

You can add anything you like to a Bircher muesli and make it in the evening by simply mixing it up in a large bowl and leaving in the fridge overnight.  Making a delicious quick to grab breakfast in the morning, for mine I used:

• 100g oats
• 2 tbsp chia seeds
• 350ml milk of your choice
• 150g yoghurt
• 150g watermelon
• 45g Blueberries
• 70g papaya
• 100g pear
• 20g goji berries
• 30g raisins
• 20g linseed
• 35g pistachios
• 35g mixed nuts

I found this amount made 3-4 servings and kept well for 2-3 days in the fridge.  It's quite thick due to the chia seeds absorbing the liquid so if you like it thinner you could add more milk when serving, I also found it was really good if I heated for 40 seconds in the microwave.

2. Breakfast fruity bagel

So simple but absolutely awesome I used a toasted cinnamon and raisin bagel and topped it with watermelon, blueberries and strawberries mixed into Greek yoghurt, then added a sprinkle of granola and chia seeds.  Using thick Greek yoghurt means you can still eat this with your fingers without getting messy!

3. Banana flapjack smoothie

Only using three ingredients this is so quick and easy to make and high in energy all you need to do is stick 1 full size chia charge banana flapjack, 250ml milk and a banana into a blender and blitz until smooth.  If it is too thick for you just add a little more milk until you are happy with the consistency.
