These pots make the perfect breakfast if you are struggling with regularity. There have been several clinical studies showing the effectiveness of Kiwi fruit to relieve constipation. In addition, chia seeds absorb water to form a soft gel in the digestive tract. The crunchy topping provide provides roughage to get things moving through your system. Together they put you on track for your best every poop. But beyond all that, they taste fantastic!

Ingredients:

LAYER 1 - PUREED FRUIT (PER POT)

• 2 Kiwi fruit

LAYER 2 - CHIA & YOGHURT (per pot)

• 170g lactose free yoghurt or 125g coconut yoghurt (dairy free)

• 2 tbsp white or black chia seeds

• 2 tbsp water

LAYER 3: CRUNCHY TOPPING (FOR 6 POTS)

• 2 tbsp (23g) pepitas

• 2 tsp (6g) sunflower seeds

• ½ cup rolled oats,

• 3 tsp (10g) goji berries

shredded coconut

• 20 macadamia nuts (40g)

Method:

Chop or blitz the fruit and spoon into a Mason jar or glass.

Mix all the middle layer ingredients together and spoon on top of the chopped fruit. Store in the fridge for 3-4 hours or overnight. If you have a sensitive tummy, be careful to choose a yoghurt variety without inulin.

The crunchy topping is made by combining the ingredients then baking on a lined tray in moderate oven for 15 mins until crunchy. Allow to cool before storing in an air-tight container until using.

Don’t add the crunchy topper until you’re ready to eat your chia pot or else it will go soggy.

Top with extra fruit and/or mint leaves if desired.
