    1 In a small blender place all strawberry layer ingredients apart from the chia seeds. Blitz until well combined. Pour into a small jug or bowl and stir in chia seeds. Refrigerate for a few hours or overnight, stirring occasionally.

    2 In a clean blender place all matcha layer ingredients apart from chia seeds and blitz until well combined. Pour into a small jug or bowl and stir in chia seeds. Place in fridge to chill for a few hours or overnight, stirring occasionally.

    3 When chia has swelled and you are ready to serve, stir both mixtures well. Pour the strawberry chia evenly between two dessert glasses. Layer over the matcha mixture. Top with remaining yoghurt and garnish with a basil leaf and fresh strawberries.

    HFG tip
