Chia pudding and smoothies - both great on their own. Put them in the same bowl and top with granola and fresh fruit, and you've got a tasty, nutritious and beautiful breakfast.

Prep time: 2.5 hours

Cook time: n/a

Serves: 2 (with extra pudding)

Ingredients

Chia pudding (plain)

• 2 1/4 cup milk of choice

• 1/2 cup chia seeds

• 2 tbsp maple syrup or honey

• 2 tsp vanilla

• 1/4 tsp salt

Chia pudding (chocolate peanut butter)

• 1/4 cup chia seeds

• 1 cup non-dairy milk (we like almond)

• 1 tsp vanilla

• 3 tbsp pure maple syrup

• 3 tbsp peanut butter

• 1 1/2 tbsp cocoa powder

Smoothie

• 1 cup milk of choice (we like almond)

• 1/2 cup fresh or frozen fruit

• 1 ripe fresh or frozen banana

• 1 tsp vanilla

Directions

1. MAKE THE CHIA PUDDING. In a medium bowl or mason jar mix all ingredients, stir well. Cover and let sit in the fridge a few hours or preferably overnight.

2. MAKE THE SMOOTHIE. Combine ingredients and blend until completely smooth. Add more milk if you like it thinner.

3. ASSEMBLE. Give the chia pudding a stir to combine. Spoon some pudding into the bottom of the bowl and pour some of the smoothie in next to the pudding.

Zhuzh it up!

• Get creative! Serve toppings for your family or guests to add to their bowls. Toppings we like include granola (you can make your own - granola recipe here!), fresh or dried fruit, flaked coconut, chocolate chips, extra nut butter or a dollop of hazelnut spread.
