1 portion

Preparation time: 10 min

Ingredients

Chia pudding:

• 1 tbsp chia seeds
• 60 ml (plant) milk
• Sweetener of your choice
• Enhance the flavor with cocoa, vanilla, lemon zest or desiccated coconut

Smoothie:

• 100 ml squeezed orange juice
• 1 frozen ripe banana

Yoghurt:

Preparation

Base 1: Chia pudding

In a small bowl, add the 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.

Base 2: Smoothie

Blend all ingredients for 1 min until smooth.

Base 3: Yoghurt

Mix or blend yoghurt with fresh/frozen fruit and optionally the toppings of your choice.

Assemble the chia pudding:

• Choose your preferred options for the base (chia pudding, smoothie or yoghurt).
• In a jar, create layers using each base.
• Add the toppings of your choice and a generous handful of fruit on top.
