Description

A stunning blend of vibrant purple chia pudding layered with creamy yogurt and topped with juicy kiwi chunks and crisp puffed quinoa for a healthy, eye-catching breakfast or snack.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup purple sweet potato purée (or natural purple food coloring)
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1 cup almond or coconut milk
  • 1 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 2 kiwis, peeled and diced
  • 1/4 cup puffed quinoa or puffed rice
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup or agave (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine chia seeds, milk, purple sweet potato purée (or a few drops of natural purple coloring), and sweetener if using. Stir well, rest 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping.
  2. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight until thickened.
  3. In serving glasses, layer the bottom with the purple chia pudding.
  4. Add a layer of yogurt on top of the chia layer.
  5. Finish with diced kiwi and sprinkle puffed quinoa over the top.
  6. Serve immediately or store in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Notes

  • Use pre-cooked or canned purple sweet potato for convenience.
  • For a dairy-free version, use plant-based yogurt like coconut or almond yogurt.
  • Puffed amaranth can be substituted for puffed quinoa.
  • Top with extra fruit like berries or bananas for added flavor and color.
