Elevated Raw Fruit and Nut Butter Breakfast Bowl
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Nuts to You Almond Cashew Butter
- 1/2 apple, diced Cosmic Crisp Apples
- 1/4 cup, unsweetened Everland Banana Chips
- 1/2 cup, halved Green Seedless Grapes
- 2 tbsp Chia Seeds
- 1/2 cup Filtered Water
- 1/4 tsp Ground Cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp Vanilla Extract (Raw)
- 1 tbsp Flaxseed Meal
- 1 tsp Raw Honey or Maple Syrup (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Chia Seed Pudding: In a small bowl, thoroughly combine chia seeds with filtered water. Add the vanilla extract and 1/8 tsp of cinnamon for enhanced flavor. Let it sit for at least 20 minutes, or preferably overnight in the refrigerator, until a thick, gel-like consistency is achieved. This allows for better hydration and a creamier texture.
- Dice Apples and Halve Grapes: Dice the Cosmic Crisp apple into small, uniform pieces. Halve the green seedless grapes for a more pleasant mouthfeel and to release their natural juices.
- Combine Base Ingredients: In a medium bowl, create a base by gently mixing the chia seed pudding with flaxseed meal. Flaxseed meal adds a nutty flavor and boosts the nutritional profile.
- Layer the Bowl: Arrange the diced apple and halved grapes artfully over the chia seed base.
- Enhance with Nut Butter: Drizzle the almond cashew butter over the fruit. Ensure the nut butter is at room temperature for easier drizzling.
- Add Crunch and Spice: Sprinkle the unsweetened banana chips over the bowl and dust with the remaining ground cinnamon.
- Sweeten (Optional): If desired, drizzle a teaspoon of raw honey or maple syrup over the bowl for added sweetness.
- Serve Immediately: This breakfast bowl is best served fresh. The overnight soaking of chia seeds ensures optimal texture and flavor. Enjoy the combination of creamy, crunchy, and fruity elements!
