Wheat Berry, Chia Seed, PB&J Breakfast Pudding

This has got to be one of my crazier recipes.  But if you're in the mood for the healthiest breakfast you can get your hands on, stop and take a look here.  You've got your whole grains - 2 of them, protein - 2 of them, fiber and fruit.  All you're missing is vegetables but vegetables didn't sound great for breakfast pudding so they were left behind.

I got this idea from looking at different whole grain puddings on the web.  But no one had made anything fun.  All serious  -  delicious but serious.  Here we're going to get fun and add some of that stuff that we loved as kids.

Wheat Berry, Chia Seed, PB&J Breakfast Pudding

1/2 cup wheat berries

4 Tbls chia seeds

1 Tbls flax powder 

Scoop of vanilla protein powder 

2 Tbls peanut butter (buy one with one ingredient -roasted peanuts or perhaps roasted peanuts with salt)

3 Tbls organic, sugar-free blueberry jam

1 Tbls raw unpasturized unfiltered honey

1 1/2 cups almond milk
1/2 cup chopped mango

 

Cook wheat berries (put the 1/2 cup in 2 cups of water, bring to a boil and drop to a medium simmer and let it cook for 40 minutes, drain)

Put all other ingredients (minus the mango) in blender and whirl it up til combined (whirl for a short time if you really like more crunch and a longer time if you like it smoother - just so long as the ingredients are combined).

Stir in wheat berries and mango and let sit at least 2 hrs in fridge, better if overnight.

Good toppings are 
fresh fruit: strawberries are particularly good with this but any will do

raisins or cut up dried fruit or coconut flakes/chopped coconut

Chopped nuts

Dallop of plain Greek yogurt

Makes 4 servings (a serving will keep you satiated for a long time)
