What you need

Bowl
Whisk
4 small glasses

Ingredients

60 gchia seeds
300 mlcoconut drink— the carton kind, not tinned
100 mlcoconut milk— tinned, full-fat, for richness
300 gmixed berries— fresh or defrosted
2 tbsp (about 40 g)maple syrup
1lime— zest and juice

How to make it

Whisk the chia seeds into both coconut liquids with half the maple syrup and a pinch of salt.
Whisk again after 10 minutes. This second whisk is the one everyone skips: chia settles in a lump at the bottom in the first few minutes, and a pudding left unstirred sets as a solid raft under thin liquid.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight, until it is thick enough to hold a spoon upright for a second.
Crush two thirds of the berries with the rest of the maple syrup and the lime juice to a loose compote, and leave the rest whole.
Layer the pudding and the compote in the four glasses, and finish with the whole berries and the lime zest. Keeps 3 days.

Variations

Higher protein

Whisk 20 g of vanilla protein powder into the liquid before the chia. About 35 kcal and 4 g of protein more per glass, and it sets a little firmer.

Chocolate

Add 2 tablespoons of cocoa to the liquid and swap the berries for sliced banana. About 25 kcal more per glass, and it turns into something closer to a chocolate mousse.

Coach's tip

A dessert that is mostly fibre and fat rather than sugar — useful when you want something sweet after dinner and do not want it to be 400 calories. At 4 g of protein it is not a recovery snack; it is pudding, and it is allowed to be.
