Inspiration and tips

This is an ideal meal-prep healthy recipe. One batch can last for four days. Store in airtight containers or jars in the refrigerator.
Chia is high in fibre, so consuming it every second day may be better for some.
When increasing fibre in your diet, make sure to drink enough water! Staying hydrated may help avoid issues like constipation on a high-fibre diet.
Swap collagen powder with a plant-based protein powder or add both for a protein-packed pudding.
For a vegan version, use marine collagen.
If using Greek Yoghurt, the recipe is no longer dairy-free.
In this recipe, light coconut milk has been used; full-fat may be more indulgent if making it for dessert.
