Chia pudding with cherry

Ingredients

Serves 1

  • 1-2 tbsp chia seeds

  • 1-2 tbsp maple syrup

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 4-5 tbsp coconut milk kefir

  • 1-2 tbsp bovine or marine collagen powder


Mix the ingredients together and stir well. Leave for 5 minutes and stir again, making sure you don’t have clumps of seeds stuck together. This can be made the night before, and stored in the fridge in a sealed container for 3-4 days.

To make the purée, simply blitz together some frozen red berries with a little maple syrup. (I used frozen cherry, strawberries and blueberries). Taste and adjust with more berries or to suit your taste.

For texture I added my homemade gluten free granola and topped it with some fresh cherries
