Chia and fig parfait

Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 0 min
Serves: 4

INGREDIENTS

1 cup chia seeds
2 cups double-cream yoghurt
6-8 figs, sliced
½ cup roasted cashews, chopped
¼ cup honey

Any nuts of your choice can be used in this delicious parfait. Chia seeds contain large amounts of fibre and omega-3 fatty acids, high-quality protein, minerals and antioxidants. They help improve digestive health and risk factors for heart disease and diabetes.

Pita with scrambled egg, spinach and feta

Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 0 min
Serves: 4

INGREDIENTS
2 pitas
4 eggs, scrambled
Handful baby spinach
1 round of feta cheese, crumbled

METHOD

1. Toast the pita. Cut in half and slit open the halves to make pockets.
2. Fill each pocket with scrambled egg, spinach and crumbled feta.
3. Season with salt and cracked black pepper.

Adding 1-2 tbsp of water to your whisked scrambled egg mixture makes them lighter whereas adding milk makes them tougher. The water, when heated on the stove, creates a steaming effect and aids in a fluffier end result.
