This breakfast bowl isn’t just pretty to look at it or just fun to taste, my recipe for a Camu Camu Chia Pudding is also incredibly healthy for you!
Camu Camu is a cherry-like fruit that grows in the Amazon rainforest in Peru and Brazil. It is packed with antioxidants and vitamin C to help protect you from free radicals and boost your immune system. In fact, Camu Camu has 60 times more Vitamin C than an orange does. You can purchase the Camu Camu powder that I used on Amazon.
You know I wouldn’t just add in one immune-boosting ingredient to my recipe, so I’ve paired the Camu Camu with blackberries, raspberries and strawberries that match well with sweet 100% pure maple syrup and vanilla and cut the tartness. I’ve also added all-natural almond butter on top.
This recipe is easy to make. Mix your milk, chia seeds, vanilla, maple syrup and Camu Camu powder and place it in the fridge for 6 hours. I recommend making this before bed, and you’ll have a ready-made breakfast in the morning.
