Grab-&-Go Chia Pot

You may know I am obsessed with the tiny but mightly power house Chia seeds! Here’s a simple little recipe perfect for whipping together the night before grabbing on your way out in the morning. Get creative with fruit, nuts, and seeds to make a perfect pot.

This is wonderful alternative to any shop bought pastrie or sugary cereal! The recipe below is the basic method, but you can use different fruit instead of the berries and you can really go to town with all sorts of different flavours. Try mango purée, matcha powder or cacao powder, raspberries, blueberries, orange zest or or fresh figs. You could also add some coconut yoghurt or plain yoghurt of your choice.

  • 2 tbs chia seeds
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon powder
  • 1/4 tsp maple or cocunut sugar (optional)
  • 50 g fresh or frozen berries
  • 2 tsp mixed seeds (sunflower, pumpkin)

For many years, I thrived in a senior corporate role, working long hours in a demanding environment. But beneath the surface, the relentless pressure was taking its toll, affecting my health in ways I could no longer ignore. I’d always been someone who kept going, rarely taking a day off. But during the lockdown years, I had a hysterectomy, I caught Covid three times, then needed eye surgery, and shortly after returning to work (too soon!) and under pressure, I then developed shingles. It was, quite simply, my body’s way of saying: enough is enough.
When I first trained as a Health Coach, I carried some pretty loud internal expectations: build a social media presence, keep your clients as case studies, get clients quickly, launch group programmes, move into corporate work  -  do this, do that, do it all. There’s such a wealth of ideas and so much content to draw on from our training that it can feel overwhelming, as though you should be doing everything at once, and that how quickly you do it will define how successful you are.
When it comes to nutrition and feeling your best, what you eat really can influence everything from your mood to your energy levels. One group of foods that offers powerful benefits for both gut health and general well-being is fermented foods. From improving digestion to boosting immunity and balancing blood sugar, adding fermented foods to your diet is one of the simplest ways to support your gut and feel more energised from the inside out.
