FOR THE BAR 

For the Chia pudding Bar I tripled both pudding recipes to serve eight - ten people. Triple the recipes - I was actually shooting to serve six - eight people and we had so much more than enough. Here's the thing, though, on the bar we offered two types of yogurt - we went with Forager Cashew Yogurt and Stonyfield Organic 100% Grass Fed Greek Yogurt. With these added to the chia pudding bowls, there is plenty for service of eight to ten. The toppings range from all of the nuts you have on hand, dried fruits - we did gojis and blueberries, coconut flakes, cocoa nibs, tahini or nut butter, hemp seeds, bee pollen, and truly you can add any toppings your heart desires.

We opt away from fresh fruit since we follow ayurvedic guidelines for healthy digestion. Schedule an ayurvedic Consult with one of our qualified health coaches! 

We used Organic While Milk from a local farm to make the chocolate chia pudding extra creamy, oily and heavy for the cooler, dryer months and we made the Matcha pudding with Oat milk to appeal to our crunchy Vegan friends.
