Ingredients

100ml reduced-fat tinned coconut milk
20g rolled oats
20g chia seeds
25g protein powder, chocolate or vanilla
30g yoghurt, such as greek, natural, soya
120g plums, stoned and quartered
2 tsp honey
½ tsp mixed spice
10g flaked almonds, toasted

Method

Stir together the coconut milk, oats, chia seeds, protein powder and yoghurt, and set aside to soak for at least 15 minutes.

Meanwhile combine the plums, honey, mixed spice and a splash of water in a small pan. Set over a medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer, then cook for 8-10 minutes until softened. Set aside to cool.

Pour the coconut mixture into a bowl, spoon over the plums and top with the flaked almonds.

Tips

You can make the chia and coconut mixture the night before. Chia seeds thicken as they stand so you may need to loosen the mixture slightly with a splash of water.

The plums can also be cooked in advance and kept in the fridge for up to 3 days.
