Ingredients

For the Chia Pudding:

1 cup almond milk (or your preferred plant-based milk)

1/4 cup chia seeds

1 tsp Anima Mundi butterfly pea flower powder

1 tbsp maple syrup (if allowed on protocol)

1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Toppings:

Culina plain coconut yogurt

Mixed berry coulis (recipe below)

Cinnamon spice crunch granola (https://shainasnourishnetwork.com/cinnamon-spice-crunch-granola/

For the Mixed Berry Coulis:

1 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen)

1 tbsp maple syrup (optional)

1 tsp lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chia Pudding:
    • Add almond milk, butterfly pea flower powder, maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract directly to your serving jar or glass. Stir until the powder is fully dissolved.
    • Add the chia seeds and stir well to combine, ensuring no clumps remain.
    • Let the jar sit for 5 minutes, then stir again to evenly distribute the chia seeds. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight until the pudding thickens to a gel-like consistency.
  2. Make the Mixed Berry Coulis:
    • In a small saucepan, combine the mixed berries, maple syrup (if using), and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries break down and the mixture thickens slightly.
    • Remove from heat and let cool. Blend for a smoother consistency if desired or leave slightly chunky for texture.
  3. Assemble the Layers:
    • Once the chia pudding has set, add a layer of Culina plain coconut yogurt directly on top.
    • Spoon the mixed berry coulis over the yogurt layer.
    • Top with a generous sprinkle of cinnamon spice crunch granola for texture and flavor.
  4. Serve and Enjoy:
    • Serve immediately or store in the fridge and add the granola just before serving for freshness.
