Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cooked quinoa
  • 180 ml plain kefir or yogurt
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 2 tsp maple syrup
  • 0.25 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.25 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 100 g fresh berries

Method
 

  1. Add the cooked and cooled quinoa to a mixing bowl or jar, ensuring it is fluffy and separated
  2. Pour in the kefir or yogurt and stir until the mixture looks creamy and evenly combined
  3. Sprinkle in the chia seeds and mix thoroughly so they are evenly distributed without clumping
  4. Add maple syrup, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon, stirring until the aroma becomes warm and slightly sweet
  5. Transfer the mixture into an airtight container if not already using one, smoothing the surface
  6. Cover and refrigerate overnight, allowing the chia seeds to absorb liquid and thicken the pudding
  7. Remove from the fridge in the morning and give it a good stir to loosen the texture
  8. Top with fresh berries just before serving, adding color and a burst of freshness
