If that dream breakfast can be prepared the night before? Well, that’s even better! 

Chia pudding is made in a similar way to Bircher Muesli, or soaked oats, in that most of the work takes place overnight (while you’re sound asleep). Made from chia seeds, which are jam packed full of nutrients, the pudding is a quick, tasty and healthy way to get your day on track.

It’s proved popular on the breakfast menu at The Westbury Hotel, where health conscious guests can also tuck into avocado toast and fresh green juices. Here, head chef Sandeep Singh shares the recipe they use every day.

The Westbury Chia Pudding

1/2 cup chia seeds

2 cups unsweetened almond milk
