Instructions

For the caramel pudding

1. Blend almonds in water.
2. Add bananas, dates, cinnamon, vanilla, JumpUp and GoGo or cacao/carob and blend until smooth.
3. Place in fridge overnight to let it harden (will be an awesome pudding the next morning, I promise — I could turn the cup around without the pudding moving a bit).

For the compote

1. Chop all fruits and mix in a small bowl with lemon juice, cinnamon and vanilla. Cover with a lid or wrap and let sit in the fridge overnight to let the flavors develop.

For the muesli

1. Process 1/4 cup sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, almonds and dates until chunky. In a bowl, add lemon juice and agave syrup and mix well to get crumble.
2. For the fresh fruit, chop your orange.
3. The next day, layer compote, muesli, fresh fruit and pudding.
