Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 cup chocolate coconut water
Fruit Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen mixed berries
- Fresh mixed berries, to taste (for garnish)
Instructions
- Soak Chia Seeds: Stir 3 tablespoons of chia seeds into 1 cup of chocolate coconut water and let the mixture sit at room temperature for 10 minutes or until it begins to gel. This hydration process activates the chia seeds, creating a pudding-like texture.
- Blend the Base and Berries: Add the soaked chia seed mixture and 1 cup of frozen mixed berries to a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy, ensuring the frozen berries break down completely to create a thick, chocolate-berry blend.
- Serve and Garnish: Pour the blended mixture into a bowl and garnish with fresh mixed berries to add a contrasting texture and fresh flavor to the chocolate chia base.
Notes
- For a smoother texture, let the chia seeds soak longer, up to 30 minutes.
- You can substitute chocolate coconut water with regular coconut water and add a teaspoon of cocoa powder for similar flavor.
- This recipe is perfect for a quick breakfast or healthy dessert.
- Adjust the amount of fresh berries for garnish based on preference for sweetness and texture.
