Tropical Smoothie Chia Oatmeal Pudding Recipe
  1. Cook the Quinoa In a pot, toast ½ cup red quinoa with a teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat until fragrant (2–3 minutes). Add enough coconut almond milk to cover the quinoa and bring it to a gentle boil. Stir constantly until the milk is absorbed.

  2. Add more milk (about an inch above the quinoa), reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once cooked, stir in 1–2 tsp cream of coconut (be sure to mix the cream in the can first).

  3. Cook the Oats Prepare ½ cup steel-cut oats as you would traditional oatmeal, using coconut milk instead of water. Once soft, stir in another 1 tsp cream of coconut and a pinch of cinnamon.

  4. Soak the Chia Seeds In a bowl, mix 1 tbsp chia seeds with a few tablespoons of coconut milk. Let it soak and thicken for about 10–15 minutes (no need to heat or cook this part).

  5. Combine the Base In a large bowl, mix together: 1 part oats 1 part quinoa 2 parts soaked chia Mashed banana Honey or maple syrup (to taste) Stir thoroughly and transfer to a jar or container. Refrigerate overnight for the flavors to meld.

  6. Assemble When Ready to Eat In a serving bowl, mix: 2 parts vanilla Greek yogurt 1 part chia-oatmeal-quinoa base Stir well. Let sit for a few minutes to thicken.

  7. Top It Off Add fresh banana slices, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, a sprinkle of granola, unsoaked chia seeds, a scoop of yogurt, and a drizzle of honey.
