Everyday Breakfast Pudding

When people see me eating my breakfast pudding I am met with faces of confusion and bewilderment. "Why is it so green?" "Does it taste nice?" "It looks like pond water." Laugh all they may, but this breakfast pudding really is so tasty and has a huge amount of goodness packed into it. Also, to be satiated and energised all morning until lunch is quite the achievement; on my old diet I would get hunger pangs around 11am after a breakfast of probiotic yoghurt and muesli. Not anymore though...

Ingredients (Serves 1)
Pudding:
250ml almond milk
1/2 an avocado or 1 banana
Small handful of blueberries
Large handful of spinach
A few parsley leaves
A few mint leaves
1 tbsp almond butter or another nut butter
1 tbsp coconut oil
1 tbsp dessicated coconut
1 tbsp ground flaxseed
Tiny bit of honey or dash of maple syrup
1 tbsp wheatgrass powder
1 tbsp cacao powder
Additional optional powders: 1 tbsp hemp protein/ maca/ spirulina/ baobab
1 tsp of ground cinnamon
1 tsp of ground turmeric
1 tsp of ground ginger
3 tbsp chia seeds

Toppings (all are optional)
3 tbsp rolled oats
1 tbsp dessicated coconut
Very small handful of blueberries

Method
1. Blend everything together except the chia seeds and the toppings
2. Pour the blended mixture into a glass or tupperware (it depends on whether you plan on eating it on the go)
3. Stir in the chia seeds and leave the mixture to thicken overnight
4. In the morning, top the pudding with the oats, dessicated coconut and blueberries

Try it for yourself and have a go at switching around some of the ingredients. I play with different quantities every day just to keep things different. Lastly, enjoy! It's my favourite meal of the day - and for good reason.
