Author: Marissa Podany
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients
Orange Dream Chia Pudding
1 ¼ cup plant milk of choice, unsweetened
1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
½ tsp vanilla extract
¼ cup + 1 Tablespoon chia seeds
Carob Overnight Oats
2 cups rolled oats
2 cups unsweetened plant milk of choice
2 Tablespoons light-roasted carob powder
2 Tablespoons coconut sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
pinch of salt
Raspberry Jam
1½ cups frozen raspberries, thawed and mashed
1 Tablespoon maple syrup
Garnish
Your favorite granola, store-bought or homemade
coconut flakes
fresh berries
Instructions
In a bowl or glass jar, add the plant milk, orange juice, and vanilla and stir. Incorporate the chia seeds into the liquid by whisking with a fork. Cover and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes or overnight.
In a separate bowl or glass jar, mix all of the overnight oat ingredients together. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
In a small bowl, mix the maple syrup and raspberries. Give it a few mashes with a fork, and set aside to thaw, either overnight in the fridge or on the counter top for an hour or so.
To put together, start with a layer of chia pudding, top with a thin layer of overnight oats, then top that with raspberry jam. If you are using any garnishes, you can sprinkle them on top of the jam. Then, start all over again with a layer of chia pudding, then oats, then jam and garnishes until you've reached the top of your serving vessel.
