These pretty little roasted rhubarb chia pots make a wonderful breakfast or healthy dessert.
The rhubarb is roasted with strawberries, orange juice, zest and a good drizzle of honey – the only sweetener in this recipe.
The chia pudding has 3 ingredients only and will thicken in the fridge after an hour or so. I usually make it the night before so it is ready to go in the morning. You then layer the chia and rhubarb it into little jars.
I’ve topped my chia pots with hemp seeds, bee pollen, toasted almonds and pepitas but top with whatever you have on hand.
