Nothing better than a PB&J sarmie, so I took the flavours of peanut butter and jam (jelly) and made a three layered Peanut Butter and Jelly Chia pudding.
This Three Layered Peanut Butter and Jelly Chia pudding contains the following hero ingredients: sugar-free peanut butter, chia seeds, almond milk, vanilla essence, almond milk, agar-agar, maple syrup and fresh strawberries.
How to make the Jelly Layer
First, you will need about 5 strawberries, and if you can get your hands on the Woolworths Flavourburst Strawberries – all the better.
Chop and then slowly simmer the strawberries in a saucepan with water, agar and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Pour into the glass to set in the fridge.
To make the Chia Layer
Mix the chia seeds with almond milk, vanilla essence and maple syrup.
An hour later, pour the chia seed mix over the jelly.
To make the Peanut Butter Layer
Melt coconut oil and peanut butter and pour over the set chia the next morning and it’s ready to be served.
Top with more strawberries if desired.
This recipe is gluten-free, refined sugar-free, vegan and protein-packed!
