Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 2 tbsps chia seeds
- 5 apricots
- plain yogurt (or fruit yogurt to taste)
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 tsp lemon juice
Tools
- Bowl
- Cutting Board
- Knife
- Immersion Blender
- 3 Jars
Steps
First, place the chia seeds in a bowl and add the plant-based milk. I used coconut milk, but you can use another beverage of your choice. Stir, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rest for 3 hours in the fridge.
The resting time is necessary for the seeds to absorb the liquid. You will get a very gelatinous mixture with a pudding-like consistency. Wash and pit 4 apricots. The fifth will be used for decoration. Transfer them into a blender or an immersion blender cup. Then add the lemon juice and honey and blend until you get a puree.
Now, in each jar, put some apricot puree, then add a few tablespoons of chia pudding, more puree, and finally a couple of tablespoons of plain yogurt. If you prefer, you can substitute it with fruit yogurt.
Wash and pit the remaining apricot and slice it thinly. Add these as a topping to the chia pudding and serve.
