Coconut chia pudding with apricot and passion fruit compote

Chia seeds are widely known. However, not everyone knows that they were already considered a staple food by the ancient Aztecs and Mayans. In fact, "chia" is an ancient Mayan word for "power." They contain plenty of omega-3 fatty acids, fibers, proteins, essential minerals, and antioxidants.

Chia pudding is jelly-like and sweet. You can make it using your favorite plant-based milk (together with your chosen Superfood powder) and add fresh fruits, jam, or granola as a topping.

Preparation time: 20 min

Cooling time: overnight

INGREDIENTS

Pudding:

    4 tbsp Chia seeds

    2 tbsp grated unsweetened coconut

    300 ml coconut milk

    1 tsp vanilla extract

    2 tsp maple syrup

Compote:

    1 Passion fruit

    2 apricots (ripe)

    1 tbsp coconut sugar

    1 tsp EVAH Elixir | Bahama Mama

Topping: coconut flakes, almonds

INSTRUCTIONS

Pudding:

Mix the ingredients together in a glass or jar. Let it sit for 10 minutes and stir every 2-3 minutes (to avoid lumps). Then let it cool in the refrigerator overnight. The longer it sets, the more time the seeds have to expand and achieve the right texture.

Compote:

Cut the apricots into small pieces and put them in a pot with the passion fruit pulp and sugar. Heat the fruits over medium heat, stirring often, until the sugar dissolves and the result is a thick jam-like consistency. Add a little water if the compote is too thick. Let it cool for 10 minutes, then add EVAH Elixir | Bahama Mama and stir until the powder has dissolved. Store in the refrigerator.

Serving:

Place the compote on top of the coconut pudding and garnish with crunchy almonds and coconut flakes for a perfect breakfast or snack.
