Tips

Our lactose-free chia porridge with baked rhubarb is typically served cold, but you can serve the baked rhubarb hot on top if you want something warm and comforting in the morning. The porridge itself is not suitable for heating as it might cause the yogurt to separate or curdle, as well as change the overall texture. Either serve the baked rhubarb straight from the oven in the morning or reheat it in a saucepan or the microwave before topping the chia porridge.
