INGREDIENTS

4 Servings

¾ can (300 ml = 3 cups) full-fat coconut milk (or other nondairy milk of your choice)

2 cups berries, fresh or frozen

2 tbsp protein powder (I used Sunwarrior Classic Plus)

1-2 tbsp MCT coconut oil (optional)

1-2 tbsp coconut butter (optional)

2 pinches Himalayan crystal salt or sea salt

Stevia, to taste (or other sweetener of your choice)

6-8 tbsp chia seeds (depending on how thick you like it)

Optional Add-Ons

½ tbsp lucuma powder

½ tbsp maca powder

Add all the ingredients, except for the chia seeds, into a blender. Blend until smooth. Pour the berry coconut milk on top of your chia seeds in a mixing bowl and stir well. Put it in the refrigerator overnight so it has the time to thicken (the chia seeds will absorb the liquid). Right before serving, add your toppings of choice. I used berries, toasted coconut and almond flakes, hemp seeds and a sprinkle of finely ground cacao nibs.
