Ingredients
2 cups (250g, 8oz) fresh raspberries
1 orange, peeled and pith removed, roughly chopped
1½ cups (375ml, 13fl oz) almond milk
¼ cup (40g, 1½ oz) white chia seeds
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup (90g, 3oz) crunchy granola
2 tbsps maple syrup (optional)
Method
Using a high-speed blender or a food processor, process the raspberries (reserving a generous handful to serve), orange and half of the almond milk until smooth.
Divide the mixture between two serving jars or glasses, then pour half the remaining almond milk, chia seeds and vanilla extract into each jar.
Cover and transfer to the fridge for 1 hour. Stir and then return to the fridge overnight.
To serve, spoon granola and pile raspberries on top of each pot, and drizzle with maple syrup, if using.
This easy breakfast recipe can be altered and served with your favourite berries or seasonal fruit.
Nutritional Facts about Berries
Berries are available all year round. Fresh or frozen, they are fabulous and a great addition to any easy breakfast recipe.
“Berries are the healthiest fruits —due in part to their plant pigments. They evolved to have bright, contrasting colors to attract fruit-eating critters to help disperse their seeds, and the same molecular characteristics that give berries such vibrant colors may account for some of their antioxidant abilities. Berries are second only to herbs and spices as the most antioxidant-packed food category. As a group, they average nearly 10 times more antioxidants than other fruits and vegetables, and exceed 50 times more than animal-based foods.”
