Someone posted this from Soho Juice Co. on r/veganfoodporn yesterday and asked to guess the price.

$23? mmm-kay. I made it for an estimated $3.

Btw, call me a skeptic but I put superfood in quotation marks because it’s the most annoying marketing gimmick.

I remember becoming disenchanted with the word superfood when I saw mulberries being touted as “THE NEW TURKISH SUPERFOOD” at one of those food markets and remembering how everyone used to step on them back in Turkey since they’re such a basic fruit 😅

Nothing against mulberries, they’re yummy, but like, if they’re a superfood then Turkish people better be super healthy! 😬

In my honest opinion, all food is “super”. Sure, some are more nutritious than others, but it also depends on your emotional state, like sometimes, a couple of oreos can make you feel “super” if a couple of oreos is what you needed. Balance and moderation.

Rant over, here’s the “superfood” recipe. Drop a rating/comment below if you make it.

Equipment

Ingredients

Blended oat layer

1 frozen acai pack (or ripe banana) (about 100 g) sub other frozen fruit
1/2 cup oats (40 g)
1 tbsp nut/seed butter (16 g)
1 serving protein powder (38 g) I use Orgain vanilla protein
1/2 cup nut milk (120 g) add gradually, use enough to blend, amount will vary based on your protein

Chia pudding layer

1/4 cup chia seeds (48 g)
1/2 cup nut milk (120 g)
1 tbsp maple syrup (21 g)

Instructions

Add all chia pudding layer ingredients to a jar, stir and refrigerate 30 min – 1 hour to thicken. You might need to stir to remove any clumps.
Add all blended oats layer ingredients except 1/4 cup of the nut milk in a blender and blend. Use the remaining nut milk only if necessary since we want to keep it thick. Taste and add sweetener if necessary (I didn't).
Layer in two jars, first the blended oats and then the chia pudding. Top with any toppings (see notes below for edible cookie dough recipe) and enjoy!

Notes

To make the edible cookie dough bites:

1 tbsp nut/seed butter
1 tbsp maple syrup
1/4 cup oat flour (about 30 g) – you might not need all of it
1-2 tsp mini chocolate chips

Mix nut butter, maple syrup, a drop of vanilla extract and a pinch of salt in a bowl, add flour gradually until you get a non-sticky cookie dough, you may not need all of the flour. Fold in chocolate chips. Press between two pieces of parchment and freeze solid (30+ min). Chop into cookie dough bites and sprinkle on top.
