Benefits of the Main Ingredients

Milk

Milk provides high-quality protein, calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin B12 while creating a smooth, creamy pudding. Plant-based milk can also be used if preferred.

Raspberries

Raspberries are naturally rich in vitamin C, fibre, manganese, and antioxidants, including anthocyanins, which give them their vibrant colour. They add a refreshing tartness that perfectly balances the creamy pudding.

Chia Seeds

Chia seeds are an excellent source of fibre, plant-based omega-3 fatty acids (ALA), calcium, magnesium, and antioxidants. They naturally absorb liquid to create a thick, creamy pudding while helping keep you feeling satisfied.

Greek Yogurt

Greek yogurt is naturally high in protein while providing calcium, phosphorus, vitamin B12, and beneficial live cultures that support gut health. It adds extra creaminess and boosts the protein content.

Gluten-Free Chocolate Granola

Certified gluten-free chocolate granola adds a satisfying crunch while providing fibre and wholesome ingredients. It creates a delicious contrast to the creamy chia pudding and tangy raspberries.

Fresh Berries

Fresh berries add extra vitamin C, antioxidants, fibre, and natural sweetness while making the pudding colourful and refreshing.

Autism-Friendly Benefits

The chia pudding can be enjoyed with its natural texture or blended after soaking to create a completely smooth consistency if preferred. The yogurt, granola, and berries can all be served separately, allowing everyone to customise their bowl according to their sensory preferences. Greek yogurt provides high-quality protein and calcium, while raspberries contribute vitamin C, fibre, and antioxidants. As every autistic individual has unique sensory preferences, the texture, toppings, and sweetness can easily be adjusted to suit individual needs.

Tip

Top with extra raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, sliced banana, chopped pistachios, shredded coconut, cacao nibs, or dark chocolate shavings for even more flavour and nutrition. Prepare individual jars in advance and store them in the refrigerator for up to four days. Add the chocolate granola just before serving to keep it deliciously crunchy.
