Two thirds cup milk or milk alternative approx 160 ml
2 tablespoon chia seeds

Instructions

Blend the banana and milk together as if you were making a smoothie
Add the chia seeds, and stir them through the smoothie, If you prefer you give a few pulses to mix them in through the smoothie, but so as not to completely demolish them.

Notes

Chia seeds take time to soften and gel, please ensure you leave the pudding for a minimum of 20 mins before serving to ensure you get a smooth custard-like texture. You can prepare it well in advance, ie prepare and refrigerate overnight.
This recipe will work with any type of milk, ie cows milk, soy, almond, oat, any milk that tickles your fancy
This recipe has no added sugar, depending on your kid's palates you may need to add some, a little maple syrup, honey (for over ones) or even a date popped into the smoothie will add sweetness. But try it without as you never know!
