Coconut and cacao chia bowl

This creamy, antioxidant-rich chia bowl makes a nourishing breakfast or snack you can prep ahead for the week. Chia seeds provide fibre, plant-based protein, and omega-3 fats, while cacao adds antioxidants, and coconut yoghurt gives a probiotic boost. Naturally dairy-free and gluten-free, it’s also easy to customise with your favourite toppings.
