If you're looking for ways to bring spring and colour to breakfast or snack time, chia puddings are a top choice.

Using protein and fibre-packed chia seeds, when soaked in milk, fruit and spices the seeds transform into a flavoursome pudding. Top with fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, granola or nut butter, and you have yourself a refreshing start or end to the day.

If you're not too sure about the texture of chia pudding, don't worry. There are a few recipes which blend the chia seeds to make the pudding extra creamy and silky.

Try these six delicious chia pudding recipes which you can prep the night before and have ready to go in the morning.

1. Vanilla bean chia pudding with fresh mint and mango
