Ingredients

Chia pudding 

  • 1 ¾ cup coconut milk

  • 1 cup California walnuts

  • 1 cup applesauce

  • 3 Tbsp maple syrup

  • 4 Tbsp collagen peptides

  • 2 tsp cinnamon

  • 2 tsp lemon juice

  • ¼ tsp nutmeg

  • ½ tsp cardamom

  • 5 Tbsp chia seeds

  • ¼ cup California walnuts for garnish

Sauteed apples 

  • 1 Tbsp coconut oil

  • 2 Pazazz apples, peeled and chopped (can use Honeycrisp apples as a substitute)

  • 1 tsp cinnamon

  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice

  • 2 Tbsp maple syrup

  • ½ cup California walnuts, chopped

Preparation

Directions

  1. In the base of your blender, combine all chia pudding ingredients except chia seeds and blend until smooth.

  2. Pour creamy mixture into a container and whisk in chia seeds until fully incorporated. Set in the fridge to chill for at least 2 hours or overnight.

  3. Heat the coconut oil in a pan over medium heat. Add in the chopped apples and sauté for 5 minutes. Add ½ cup chopped walnuts, cinnamon, maple syrup, and lemon juice. Sauté until the apples become tender and start to caramelize, about 3-5 more minutes.

  4. Serve your chia pudding with the caramelized apples and walnuts on top.
