Ingredients

4 tbsp almond butter
4 tbsp chia seeds
Pinch of salt
Pinch of cinnamon
Toppings, of choice
Method
COOK BERRIES. Place the raspberries into a small saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 cup of water or enough to cover the fruit. Bring to boil. Simmer until berries are softened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
BLEND. Add cooled raspberries, almond butter, chia seeds, salt, and cinnamon to a high speed blender. Blend until smooth. Add water if needed to achieve desired texture. It should be pourable but not runny.
CHILL. Divide into four jars or bowls. Place in fridge overnight to set and thicken.
SERVE. When ready to eat, top as desired. I used coconut flakes, raspberries, and mint.
