Method
- 1
In a bowl, combine rolled oats, chia seeds, and raw cacao powder.
- 2
Pour the 2 cups boiling water over the mixture and stir well. Let it sit for 2–3 minutes until it thickens slightly.
- 3
Stir in the raw honey and optional nuts/seeds. Taste and adjust sweetness.
- 4
Divide the oat mixture into 3 equal portions: two portions for the kids, one portion for the adult.
- 5
Into the adult portion only, mix in the chilled espresso shot until incorporated.
- 6
Prepare the yogurt layers: mix hung curd + hemp + vanilla for the two kids’ servings; prepare either protein option for the adult serving. Option A: mix until smooth and set aside. Option B: mix until completely smooth.
- 7
In 3 jars or bowls, layer as follows: spoon a layer of the oats mixture, add a few chocolate chips (optional), add the yogurt layer. Repeat if you prefer more layers.
- 8
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight to thicken and develop flavor.
For steadier energy, keep the cacao and chia, then choose an unsweetened yogurt and add the protein option when this is your full breakfast. The kids’ version can stay caffeine-free while adults add espresso separately.
