clean layers, slow nutrition, and a quiet chocolate finish

Chia pudding is built on patience. It sets slowly, layer by layer, becoming something calm and structured.

Chia Pudding Layered Chocolate adds a Bana chocolate stick as a finishing touch — not just garnish, but a slow flavor accent that gently melts into the layers.

🌱 Ingredients (1 serving)

3 tbsp chia seeds

200 ml milk (dairy or plant-based)

1–2 tsp honey or maple syrup

1 Bana Chocolate Stick

Optional layers: yogurt, fruit puree (mango, strawberry), granola

🥣 How to Make

Mix chia seeds, milk, and sweetener in a jar.

Let it rest in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Once set, layer into a glass with yogurt or fruit if desired.

Place 1 Bana Chocolate Stick as garnish on top.

Let it slowly melt from the top layer downward, or break and mix gently.

🍫 The Experience

First spoon: cool, gel-like chia texture. Then: fruit and yogurt brightness in layers. Finally: chocolate melts in, softening the structure into a richer, dessert-like finish.

It stays healthy. But feels indulgent.

🌙 Best enjoyed when:

mornings need clean energy

you want something light but satisfying

your routine needs structure and calm

Savor these mouthwatering low-carb cinnamon donuts topped with a decadent, nutty browned butter glaze. For people who are on a low-carb or grain-free diet but still have a sweet tooth, these are ideal.

Ingredients: 1 cup almond flour. 1/4 cup coconut flour. 1/4 cup erythritol or sweetener of choice. 1 tsp baking powder. 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon. 1/4 tsp salt. 2 large eggs. 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk. 2 tbsp melted coconut oil. 1 tsp vanilla extract. For the Glaze:. 2 tbsp butter. 1/4 cup powdered erythritol or powdered sweetener. 1/2 tsp vanilla extract. 1-2 tbsp unsweetened almond milk.

Instructions: Grease a donut pan and preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit 175 degrees Celsius. Almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt should all be combined in a mixing bowl. Pour in the almond milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil. Blend until thoroughly blended. Pour the batter into each donut hole, about two thirds full, using a spoon. Bake the donuts in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until they are solid and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Make the glaze while the donuts are baking. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over a medium-low heat. Stirring frequently, continue cooking the butter until it turns brown and begins to smell nutty. Take it off the heat and allow it to cool a little. Add the vanilla extract and powdered erythritol to the browned butter and stir. One tablespoon of almond milk at a time should be added until the glaze has the consistency you want. When done, allow the donuts to cool in the pan for a few minutes before removing and letting cool fully on a wire rack. Pour the browned butter glaze over each donut, letting excess run off. To allow the glaze to harden, put them back on the wire rack. Serve and savor your grain-free and low-carb cinnamon doughnuts!

150–200 g Greek yogurt

1–2 tbsp honey

1 Bana Chocolate Stick

Optional: granola, nuts, berries

Drizzle honey over the top.

Place 1 Bana Chocolate Stick vertically into the yogurt.

Let it sit and slowly melt into the creamy base.

Mix lightly or eat in layered bites.
