- 2 tablespoons Zen Basil seeds

- 1/2 cup milk of choice (almond, soy, cow's milk, etc.)

- 5 ounces yogurt of choice (divided)

- 1 tablespoon nut butter

- 1 large carrot (grated)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Main Mixture:

- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the Zen Basil seeds and milk. Stir well to ensure the seeds are evenly distributed in the liquid.

2. Set and Mix Again:

- Let the mixture sit for 20 minutes to allow the Zen Basil seeds to swell and absorb the liquid.

- After 20 minutes, stir the mixture again to ensure even consistency.

3. Assemble and Top:

- Transfer the mixture to a serving container if desired.

- Top with the remaining yogurt, spreading it evenly over the surface.

- Add your chosen toppings: chopped fresh fruit, additional grated carrots, and chopped nuts.

4. Chill and Serve:

- For best results, cover and refrigerate the mixture overnight to allow the flavors to meld.

- The prepared dish can be kept refrigerated for up to 3 days.
