- Vegan & gluten-free option
- Great for breakfast or snack
- No cooking required
- Balanced: fibre, protein & antioxidants
This is definitely one you can prep in advance, and I often make it the night before. The kids have also started taking yogurt for lunch (they use one of these yogurt things) and it’s been really handy.
I also used to buy my own pomegranates and get the seeds out, but no chance any more 😅. I don’t have the time and it’s amazing you can buy them in frozen packets!
Anyway, this is a really tasty and easy recipe, and of course you can make it vegan with soy (or similar) yogurt!
Ingredients & Substitutions
- Chia seeds: Essential for texture and fibre. Use whole, not ground.
- Yoghurt: Greek yoghurt for protein, or coconut/soy for vegan.
- Almond milk: Any plant milk works. Oat, soy or cashew are great.
- Pomegranate seeds: Adds juicy crunch. Sub with blueberries if needed.
- Raspberries: Fresh or frozen. Strawberries or blackberries are fine.
- Elderberry syrup: Maple or agave is also totally fine.
- Elderberries (dried, optional): Unique antioxidant boost.

If using frozen raspberries, use the soaking time to defrost the raspberries. A microwave works great, as does a small pot on the stove.
2 tbsp raspberries
-
Mix the yoghurt, syrup, almond milk, chia seeds and raspberries all together.
¾ cup yoghurt, 1 ½ tbsp elderberry syrup

Sprinkle a few pomegranate seeds over the top. Beautiful.
