Ingredients
serves 1
2 tbsp chia seeds
2 tbsp bovine or marine collagen peptides powder
4 tbsp coconut milk kefir
1 tsp maple syrup - If you need to sweeten the pudding
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 kiwi, sliced
hemp and flaxseed to sprinkle on the top
Mix together the chia seeds, collagen powder, vanilla extract, kefir (and maple syrup if using) in a bowl.
Stir and mix well.
Leave for 2-3 minutes and stir again, cover and store in the fridge. For best results, leave to sit for at least 1 hour, for the seeds to soak up the kefir.
(you can increase the quantity and store in an airtight container for 5 days if you are meal prepping).
When you are ready to eat, top the chia pudding with slices of kiwi fruit and sprinkle over some hemp and flaxseed.
