Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup chia seeds
• 2 ½ cups almond milk
• Pinch of salt
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup berries, whole
• 1/2 cup of berries, pureed
• 20g of crushed walnuts
• 100g of coconut yoghurt (can be replaced by Greek yoghurt or kefir)

Directions:

1. In a medium-sized bowl combine chia seeds with almond milk, add vanilla extract and stir well. Pour the mixture (3 tbsp) into 6 small glasses and chill it in the refrigerator for about 3 hours until completely cooled. Best if prepared and left in fridge overnight if possible.
2. Chia pudding will continue to thicken once in the fridge. If it seems too thick, add more milk to make it thinner.
3. To serve: add a layer of whole mixed berries, followed by a layer of berry puree, coconut yogurt (2 tbsp), and a sprinkle of chopped walnuts in each cup.
