Tips and tricks about the 4-ingredient berry compote chia pudding:

-I like to make my chia pudding the night before, because it allows it to get the right consistency. Just put the milk and chia seeds in a mason jar, give it a shake and place it in the fridge for 10 mins. Take it out, shake it really well again and leave it in the fridge until the next morning.

-I used this coconut milk, but feel free to replace it.

-Chia seeds are a super food. They contain massive amount of nutrients, low on calories, loaded with antioxidants and Omega-3 fatty acids chia seeds. Should I keep going and tell you they actually help us lose weight ? Haha, didn’t think so.

-It works great as a meal-prep! I always make a few jars whenever I have the time, they can stay in the fridge for 5-7 days, no probs ! Plus they’re delicious in so many combinations, like jams, fresh fruits or granola.

Ingredients:

• 4 tbsp chia seeds
• 1 cup milk (I used coconut milk, but feel free to replace with any other option)
• 1 cup mixed berries
• 1 tbsp maple syrup

Instructions

Chia pudding

• In a mason jar, stir the milk and the chia seeds and then shake until well combined. ( You can use a bowl just as well, but I find it easier using the jar. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes.
• Give it another good stir or shake to break the clumps and then place the jar in the fridge for 1-2 hours, shaking it from time to time to make sure all the seeds have a gel-like consistency around them.

Berry compote

• In a small pot, place the berries( combined or separate) and the maple syrup, heat on medium.
• Mix occasionally until it starts to simmer, and then reduce heat to low and let the compote thicken until it reaches the consistency you want.
• Turn the heat off and let the compote cool down
• Pour a bit of the compote on the bottom of the serving container and some more on top of the chia pudding. Top with more fresh berries or your favourite yogurt !
