A sunkissed breakfast
We teamed up with our friend and freshly minted Byron resident, Ami Shoesmith of The Sunkissed Kitchen to create these absolutely stunning bowls of rainbow chia pudding delight.
The idea that we eat first with our eyes has never been so right. Ami must have been blessed by a unicorn as a child, because everything she waves her hands over turns into a dazzling blast of perfectly arranged edible colour.
Our Stardust superfood powders are the perfect pairing for such a vibrant fruit arrangement. We made a simple chia pudding and took it to the next level with our Blue Immunity and Red Longevity blends. Feel free to play around with your favourite colours and flavours!
These colourful fruits are absolutely loaded with beneficial polyphenols and antioxidants, and with an extra boost of goodness coming from the Stardust powders, this is a meal your body will thank you for.
When styling your bowl, a few basic principles can help. Start with your biggest elements first, then move onto smaller things like berries, and finish with your final garnish, whether it’s a sprinkle of seeds or a scattering of edible flowers. It’s great if your final garnish contrasts strongly with the layer below. A bright pop of marigold petals is stunning against a deep blue chia bowl.
For larger fruits like strawberries and apples, it’s best to slice them and fan them out around the edges of the bowl. This even works with purple grapes, which have an incredible contrasting colour inside. Smaller items like berries can be grouped into clusters, with a few extras scattered around where there is a bit of a gap in the garnish.
Make sure some of the original meal still shows through and isn’t totally covered up by the toppings. This creates visual layers going right back to the heart of the meal. For more inspiration check out Ami’s creations at The Sunkissed Kitchen.
Most importantly, have fun and keep playing! A beautiful garnish lifts up a simple meal and creates joy before the meal is even tasted.
Ingredients:
- 2 tsp Blue Star Dust
- 2 tsp Red Star Dust
- 3/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup hemp milk (or your favourite alternative milk)
- 2 cups water
- (Optional) 1/3 cup Eros Love & Vitality Granola
- Fresh Fruit – we went for raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, kiwi, and grapes
- Edible Flowers for garnishing
- 3 x 500ml jars and lid OR Bowl*
* I like to use a jar so I can shake the Stardust and Chia – it makes mixing easy.
Method:
In 500ml jar or bowl add Immunity (blue) star dust to a splash of hot water – stir to make a paste.
In another jar or bowl add Longevity (red) star dust to a splash of hot water – stir to make a paste.
Add 1/3 cup milk and 2/3 cup water to each jar/bowl and shake/stir and well combine.
Add 1/3 cup chia seeds to each jar/bowl. Shake/stir well.
In the final jar or bowl you’ll make an unflavoured chia pudding, so simply add the chia, milk, and water, then shake/stir well.
Leave for at least 10mins to allow the chia to absorb the liquid.
Serve up the trio of coloured chia pods with fresh fruit, a sprinkle of Eros and edible flowers.
Enjoy your rainbow chia pudding creations!
