Ingredients:
For the base:
2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or your favorite non-dairy milk)
½ cup tapioca starch (or arrowroot powder)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon salt
For the topping:
¼ cup melted coconut oil or vegan butter (optional)
1 ½ cups gluten-free rolled oats (for crunch)
½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (for added crunch)
½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut flakes
½ cup vegan granola (homemade or store-bought)
For the mix-ins:
¾ cup fresh berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, etc.)
½ cup sliced banana (optional)
2 tablespoons hemp seeds (optional)
2 tablespoons chia seeds (black or white)
Instructions:
Step 1: Combine the base ingredients in a medium bowl and whisk until smooth. Set aside.
Step 2: Add the toppings to separate small bowls and set them aside as well.
Step 3: Pour the base mixture into four small glasses or ramekins. Divide the toppings evenly among the glasses, pressing down gently so they stick to the sides.
Step 4: Cover each glass with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken the mixture.
Step 5: Once ready, top each serving with additional fresh fruit, hemp seeds, and/or chia seeds if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Difficulty Level: Easy
