Vanilla Maca Chia Pudding w/ Whipped Peanut Butter-Coconut Cream

Here's another delicious version of one of my favorite breakfasts or snacks!! The addition of maca to a simple vanilla pudding will give you an energy boost for your day, as well as a delicious caramelly flavor that goes perfectly with the sweet vanilla.

I topped this breakfast with whipped peanut butter-coconut cream and fresh berries, lending more deliciously healthy fats and a medley of all my favorite flavors to this powerhouse breakfast. You can prep this meal the night before for an easy grab-and-go breakfast option, too!

This is vegan, gluten free, and can be paleo using plain whipped coconut cream!



Serves 1


For the pudding, you will need:

• 3 tbsp chia seeds
• 1 cup milk of choice (I used Silk Unsweetened Coconut)
• 1-2 tsp maca powder (depending on tolerance)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• sweetener of choice, to taste

Directions:

• Place the chia and milk in a sealable container (I like mason jars) and shake it up with lid on.
• Add the maca, vanilla, and sweetener and shake again to combine.
• Continue to shake the contents for about 10 minutes (it doesn't have to be continuous, just every so often) to prevent the chia from clumping together.
• Once the chia begins to absorb the liquid and doesn't sink to the bottom, place the jar in your refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
• Remove from your fridge, top with whatever you want and dig in!

For the whipped cream, you will need:

• 2 tbsp whipped coconut cream
• 1 tbsp peanut flour (or 1/2 tbsp softened, runny peanut butter)
• sweetener of choice, to taste

Directions:

• Place ingredients in a small bowl and stir well until combined. That's it! :)

Enjoy!!
