Ingredients (makes 2 servings)
For the chia layer:
4 Tablespoons of chia seeds
3/4 cup of almond milk
For the strawberry cookie dough layer:
1/2 cup of almonds
4-5 pitted medjool dates
1/2 avocado
1 cup of strawberries or raspberries
1/3 cup of coconut yogurt
1/2 cup of almond milk to blend
Method:
1) Start by making the chia layer. Make at least 3 hours in advance, or even the night before. Mix the chia seeds with the almond milk. Use a whisk to avoid any lumps, cover with some cling film and place in the fridge for at least 3 hours to allow it to turn to a gloopy-jelly consistency.
2) To make the strawberry cookie dough: Use a high speed blender or a food processor. Place the almonds and dates into the blender/food processor and blend until you have a crumbly mixture. If you are using a food processor, transfer the mixture to a blender and add the strawberries, coconut yogurt, avocado and almond milk. Blend until you have a smooth mixture, add more coconut milk if your blender is struggling.
3) For presentation: Add about 2 tablespoons of chia pudding into a glass. Add a few slices of strawberries. Add 2 tablespoons of strawberry cookie dough mixture and top with another tablespoon of chia pudding. Finally decorate with fresh fruit of your choice.
Store in the fridge until ready to eat.
