Probiotic Jar

GF R VG (if honey and bee pollen not used)

Makes 4 x 250ml (9fl oz) jars

Preparation time: 25 minutes

“This recipe will give you a beautiful probiotic parfait jar. We serve it at the restaurant and people always say how lovely this jar looks. Probiotic yogurt is full of good bacteria, which stabilize the gut, and the addition of spirulina makes it rich in minerals and protein. Chia is great for speeding up digestion, as well as being high in omega-3s. Enjoy taking care of your gut health with this beautiful jar of goodness.” p.89

 

For the chia pudding

475ml (17fl oz) homemade Nut & Seed Milk (see page 78)

1 tbsp honey or other sweetener (optional)

½ tsp vanilla extract

6 tbsp chia seeds

 

For the probiotic spirulina yogurt

500g Cashew Yogurt (see page 76)

¼ tsp vanilla powder

1 tbsp raw honey or other sweetener (optional)

½ tsp spirulina powder

pinch of salt

 

To serve

150g (5½oz) strawberries, sliced

2 tbsp bee pollen (optional)

25g (1oz) coconut chips

25g (1oz) flaked almonds

 

To make the chia pudding, blend the nut or seed milk with the honey (if using) and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl. Stirin the chia seeds until well combined. Soak until the seeds have absorbed all the liquid and become gelatinous. This mixturewill keep for 3 days in a sealed container in the refrigerator.

To make the yogurt blend all the ingredients together in a highspeed blender until well combined.

To assemble, put a layer of strawberry slices around the edge of the base of the jars and add some yogurt. Spoon a layer of chia pudding on top of this. Finish with more strawberry slices, the bee pollen (if using), coconut chips and flaked almonds.
