Instructions
To make the peanut butter pudding
In a blender, puree the dates, peanut butter, chia seeds, sea salt, milk, and vanilla extract until
smooth (if using a high-speed blender, this will be quick; with a standard blender, you may need to scrape down the sides of the blender a few times). If you’d like additional sweetener, add the maple syrup, a teaspoon or two at a time, to taste.
To make the berrylicious swirl
Using a blender or immersion blender, puree the berries, maple syrup, and sea salt until semi smooth. If using frozen berries, it will take a little longer.
To assemble
Dollop the berry mixture on the peanut butter pudding, or “swirl” it through.
Notes
Peanut Butter Note: Peanut butters often have salt added, even the natural varieties. Check the ingredients—if it does, reduce or omit salt.Nut Butter Note: If substituting a nut butter like almond, try adding a touch of orange zest. It pairs beautifully with almond butter!Berries Note: If using seasonal fresh berries, they may be sweeter than frozen. Puree with just 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, and add extra to taste.With frozen berries,I usually use 2 tablespoons syrup
