👨🍳Method
Prep the Chia Base
5 min + 2hr chillIn a bowl, vigorously whisk together your 0% Greek yogurt, cashew milk, 10g chia seeds, 1/2 scoop of whey protein, and sweetener. For a purple hue, mash one or two raspberries directly into the mix. Let it sit in the fridge for at least 2 hours or overnight so the chia seeds swell and the base becomes incredibly thick and dense.
Whip the Golden PB Cream
2 minIn a small cup, mix your remaining 1/2 scoop of vanilla whey protein with the peanut butter powder. Add water one teaspoon at a time, stirring aggressively, until it forms a thick, smooth, golden pudding consistency.
The Cafe Assembly
2 minGrab a wide, clear glass jar or bowl. Spoon your thick, cold chia pudding base into the bottom, filling it slightly more than halfway and smoothing the top flat. Pour your thick golden peanut butter protein cream directly over the chia layer, spreading it evenly to the edges.
The Crown
1 minGently pile your bright red forest fruit in the center of the golden layer. Take your tiny 3g portion of crushed almonds and dust it specifically over the berries and the edges of the cream.
