Chia pudding with yoghurt

  1. Grab a large bowl and mix all the ingredients together. Place into two separate serving bowls.

  2. Place in the fridge overnight, as it needs at least 5 hours to thicken.

  3. Take out of the fridge, add your homemade granola, and enjoy!

Homemade granola

  1. Preheat the oven to 170 degrees Celsius (or 150 degrees Celsius if you have a conventional oven)

  2. Grab a large bowl & add all the seeds. Of course, feel free to use any seeds you may have, but the recommended ones go very nice together.

  3. Break the nuts into smaller pieces if you wish and add them to the bowl.

  4. Heat the coconut oil au bain-marie. Mix this well with you nuts and seeds. Add the cinnamon.

  5. Beat egg whites with a whisk. Fold this carefully through the granola. The egg whites make sure that the granola becomes nice and crispy.

  6. Spread the granola on a tray with baking paper. Place this in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes. Stir well every 10 minutes, so that everything is equally brown and crispy. Don’t let the nuts become too brown, as they get a burnt flavour easily.

Enjoy!
