Name: Layered yogurt and berry chia pudding
Ingredients: Serves 2; 1 cup (250 ml) of homemade yogurt; ½ cup (125 ml) of coconut milk (or the coconut water that separates from coconut yogurt) or milk of your choice; ¼ cup (45g) of chia seeds; 1 vanilla bean scraped to remove all the seeds or 2 teaspoons of vanilla; 2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup or more to taste; ¾ cup blueberries (fresh or frozen); ¾ cup raspberries (fresh or frozen); ¼ teaspoon powdered cinnamon (optional)

This layered yogurt and berry chia pudding might just be the prettiest meal prep you’ll ever make, and it couldn’t be easier. Creamy, vibrant and naturally sweet, it’s one of those recipes that feels a little special, no matter when you enjoy it. Breakfast, dessert, or even a grab-and-go lunch… the only challenge is deciding when to dig in. Stored in leak-proof Luvele glass vacuum-seal canisters, it’s perfectly portable and ready whenever you are.

Chia seeds are tiny but mighty. They’re one of the richest plant-based sources of omega-3 fatty acids, naturally gluten- and grain-free, and packed with fibre to support digestion and keep you feeling satisfied. When combined with homemade yogurt, you’re adding protein, healthy fats and a generous dose of gut-loving probiotics, turning this simple pudding into a powerhouse of nourishment.

We made ours with L. reuteri yogurt for an extra probiotic boost, but this recipe is wonderfully flexible. You can easily switch to a dairy-free option — homemade coconut yogurt is a favourite for its rich texture and subtle sweetness. There are no strict rules here; simply switch the milk and yogurt to suit your taste and dietary needs. It’s a truly failsafe recipe.

One of the best things about chia pudding is its adaptability. As the seeds soak, they absorb liquid and transform into a thick, mousse-like texture. For an extra nutritional boost, consider using the naturally separated liquid from your yogurt (whey or coconut water), in place of some of the milk. It’s a simple way to maximise those beneficial probiotics.
