Let's get into the recipe.
Ingredients:
2 tbsp (unsweetened) applesauce
2 tbsp yoghurt*
100ml milk*
2 tbsp chia seeds
1 banana
1 tbsp peanut butter
A generous amount of Turtle Cocoa Pillows with Hazelnut (gluten-free)
*Swap with plant-based alternatives to make it vegan.
Preparation:
Step 1: Prepare the yoghurt chia pudding
In a small bowl, combine the yoghurt, milk and chia seeds. Stir until well combined.
Cover and store in the fridge overnight or for at least 4 hours. This allows the chia seeds to expand and the mixture will have a creamy, pudding-like texture.
Step 2: Assemble the pudding
Remove the yoghurt chia pudding from the fridge.
Find a jar and press banana slices around the edges.
Add a layer of applesauce.
Spoon the yoghurt chia pudding on top of the applesauce.
Now, dollop a spoonful of peanut butter and gently spread it out to create an even layer.
Sprinkle a generous amount of Turtle Cocoa Pillows with Hazelnut.
Step 3: Enjoy!
