basic chia pudding with superfood berry compote

It's practically summer here in Boston, but I guess the weather hasn't really caught up yet... it's been cloudy/cold/rainy off and on for the past couple of weeks, which calls for some cozy breakfasts.

This recipe uses a basic chia pudding as a base (I made mine with cashewgurt aka Forager Project's drinkable non-dairy yogurt for an extra dose of probiotics), and adds a berry compote full of superfoods, antioxidants, and no added sugar to cozy it up.

directions

  1. For the chia pudding: Combine cashewgurt/kefir/nondairy milk and chia seeds. Stir thoroughly so that there are no clumps. Let sit for at least 8 hours. Note: you might have to adjust the ratio — make sure to check on it after a couple of hours to see.
  2. For the superfood berry compote: Combine berries, frozen kale, and flaxseed meal. Microwave for 1 minute 45 seconds. If you want a sweeter and thicker compote, add a banana before microwaving.
  3. Stir in the powders (maca, mushroom, and collagen). Add another tbsp of flaxseed meal if the compote is too liquidy.
  4. Pour on top of chia seed pudding, top with toppings, and enjoy!
