Ingredients

scale

1X 2X 3X

• ¾ cup porridge oats

• 2 tbsp maple syrup (honey or agave syrup)

• 1 cup coconut yogurt (or Greek yogurt)

• 1 tbsp blue spirulina powder

• 1 can full-fat coconut milk

• 5 tbsp chia seeds

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 2 tbsp puffed quinoa

• ½ cup red currant

• ½ cup cherries

• 1 tbsp coconut oil

• ½ cup dark chocolate drops

Instructions

• 1

  Prepare the Overnight Oats:

  In a bowl, combine the porridge oats with the coconut yogurt, blue spirulina powder, and 1 tablespoon of maple syrup. Mix well until the ingredients are thoroughly combined. After mixing, cover the bowl and allow it to soak overnight in the refrigerator. This step will ensure that your oats become wonderfully creamy and infused with the flavors of the coconut and blue spirulina.

  Make the Coconut Chia Pudding:

  In a separate bowl, mix the chia seeds, 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, vanilla extract, and the full-fat coconut milk. Stir until the chia seeds are evenly distributed, and the mixture is sweetened to your liking. Cover the bowl and also let it soak in the refrigerator overnight. This will allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and create a thick and creamy pudding.

  Melt the Dark Chocolate:

  The next morning, it's time to add a touch of indulgence to your breakfast. Melt the dark chocolate drops with a tablespoon of coconut oil using either a double boiler or your microwave oven. Stir until you have a smooth, velvety chocolate sauce.

  Create Chocolate-Dipped Jars:

  Now, get your serving glasses or jars ready. Take the very top part of each glass or jar and dip it into the melted dark chocolate, then place them in the freezer for about 10 minutes. This step adds a fun and decadent touch to your breakfast presentation.

  Assemble Your Breakfast Cups:

  Begin the assembly by layering the puffed quinoa at the bottom of the prepared glasses. The puffed quinoa will add a delightful crunch to your breakfast.

  Next, spoon in a layer of the blue overnight oats mixture that you prepared the night before. The vibrant blue color will not only make your breakfast visually appealing but also adds an extra dose of antioxidants and nutrients.

  Finish off your jars by adding the creamy and nutritious coconut chia pudding on top of the oats. This layering creates a delightful textural contrast and a harmonious blend of flavors.



• 8

  Decorate and Enjoy:

  To finish your breakfast masterpiece, decorate the jars with a generous sprinkle of fresh red currants and cherries. These fruits not only provide a burst of natural sweetness but also bring in a burst of color that complements the blue and white layers. 

Tips

• Sweetener Variations: While the recipe uses maple syrup, you can customize the level of sweetness by adjusting the amount of sweetener to suit your taste. Honey or agave syrup can be used as alternatives to maple syrup.
• Consistency Control: The consistency of your chia pudding and overnight oats can be adjusted to your preference. If you prefer a thicker texture, use fewer liquids. 
• Chilling Time: The key to a creamy and satisfying breakfast is the overnight soaking of both the oats and chia seeds. Don't rush this step; give them ample time to absorb the liquid and flavors.
• Layering Creativity: Feel free to get creative with the layering of your breakfast jars. You can also add fresh berries, sliced bananas, or chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
• Spirulina Powder: Blue spirulina powder not only adds a unique blue color but also boasts numerous health benefits. It's known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
• Serving Presentation: These jars not only make for a delicious breakfast but also a beautiful presentation for special occasions. Serve them to guests or enjoy them as a weekend treat.
• Storage: If you have leftover prepared jars, you can store them in the refrigerator for a day or two. However, it's best to consume them fresh for the best texture and flavor.
• Variation Ideas: Experiment with different toppings and flavor combinations. Consider adding shredded coconut, crushed nuts, or a drizzle of almond butter for even more variety.
