Chia and Fruit Breakfast Squares

Ingredients

• 80 g chia seeds
• 800 ml plant-based milk (can be your choice)
• vanilla extract (to taste)
• sweetener (or sweetener to taste)
• 21 g unflavored gelatin (equivalent to 3 standard sachets)
• 105 ml water (to hydrate the gelatin)
• mixed fruits (chopped (e.g., strawberries, grapes, kiwi, blueberries))
• yogurt (for serving)
• granola (for serving)

Steps

1. 1

   In a large container, mix the chia seeds with the plant-based milk, vanilla extract, and sweetener to taste.

2. 2

   In a separate small bowl, hydrate the unflavored gelatin with the 105 ml of water. Let it rest for a few minutes until it solidifies.

3. 3

   While the gelatin is hydrating, wash and cut the chosen fruits (strawberries, grapes, kiwi) into small pieces.

4. 4

   Heat the hydrated gelatin (in the microwave or in a double boiler) until it melts and becomes liquid again.

5. 5

   Stir the liquid gelatin into the chia and milk mixture, mixing well to combine.

6. 6

   Add the chopped fruits and frozen blueberries to the preparation and mix gently.

7. 7

   Pour the mixture into a large rectangular dish and place in the refrigerator. Ideally, let it rest overnight so the chia hydrates and the gelatin sets completely.

8. 8

   Once firm, cut into squares. Serve each portion with a dollop of yogurt and granola on top.

Notes

Lasts 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator. If you are cooking for one person, it is recommended to make half the recipe so it doesn't go to waste.
