The Power of Ingredients
This recipe isn’t just delicious; it’s nutrient-dense.

Ingredients
180g quick oats
450g plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
600ml milk of choice
40g chia seeds
50g hemp hearts
300g frozen blueberries
2 Tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp salt
50g walnuts, roughly chopped
Juice and zest of ½ lemon
Method
1 Combine: In a large bowl or directly into your serving jars (like a classic Kilner jar), add the oats, milk, yogurt, chia seeds, hemp hearts, maple syrup, vanilla extract, salt, lemon juice, and zest.
2 Mix: Stir everything together thoroughly until the mixture is uniform and the chia seeds are well distributed.
3 Layer: Carefully fold in the frozen blueberries and chopped walnuts. If you are using individual jars, you can layer these for a beautiful aesthetic look.
4 Soak: Seal your jars tightly and place them in the fridge overnight. This allows the chia seeds and oats to soak up the liquid, resulting in a perfect, creamy, and pudding-like texture by morning.
