Servings: 3 to 4
Ingredients
Chia Seed Pudding:
- 2 cups non-dairy milk of choice see note*
- 2/3 cup chia seeds
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract optional
Blackberry Smoothie:
- 1 cup fresh blackberries
- 1 cup non-dairy milk of choice or yogurt
- 1 tablespoon almond butter
- 2 large medjool dates pitted
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger peeled and grated
- handful ice
Instructions
- Prepare the chia seed pudding first. Pour the non-dairy milk into a sealable jar, followed by the chia seeds, pure maple syrup, and pure vanilla extract. Seal the jar and shake very well. Refrigerate at least 4 hours (overnight is better!), stirring the pudding occasionally.
- Add the ingredients for the blackberry smoothie to a blender. Blend until completely smooth. Taste smoothie for flavor and add another date or two if you like your smoothies sweeter.
- Layer the chia seed pudding, muesli, and smoothie in jars. Enjoy immediately, or seal the jars and take them with you for breakfast.
Notes
*I used pea milk for this round of chia seed pudding, but almond milk, cashew milk, and coconut milk work phenomenally, too!
