Ingredients
Chia Seed Layer:
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- ½ cup oat milk (or any milk of your choice)
- ½ teaspoon agave syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (alcohol-free, such as Singing Dog Vanilla)
Yogurt Layer:
- 7 tablespoons yogurt (dairy or dairy-free)
- ¾ cup raspberries
Toppings:
- Granola
- Fresh raspberries
Instructions
1. Prepare the Chia Pudding:
In a bowl, stir together the chia seeds, oat milk, vanilla extract, and agave syrup. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then stir it again.
Place the bowl in the fridge for at least 1 hour or overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken. If you prefer a thinner consistency, gradually add more milk until it reaches your desired texture.
2. Prepare the Yogurt Layer:
While the chia pudding is chilling, combine the yogurt and raspberries in a small bowl. Use a fork to mash the raspberries into the yogurt until it turns a pinkish color and the raspberries are well incorporated.
3. Assemble the Jars:
Once the chia pudding has set, evenly distribute it into the bottom of two glass jars. Next, spoon the raspberry yogurt mixture over the chia pudding in each jar.
4. Add Toppings:
Top with granola and additional fresh raspberries. Cover the jars with lids and place them in the fridge until ready to serve.
