CHIA SEED PUDDING

Chia Seed Pudding is a creamy, nutrient-dense dish perfect for breakfast, snack, or dessert. With chia seeds soaked in almond milk and lightly sweetened with honey or maple syrup, this recipe offers a delicious and wholesome way to start your day or enjoy a light treat. The chia seeds absorb the liquid, creating a thick, pudding-like texture rich in omega-3 fatty acids, fibre, and antioxidants. This pudding is versatile and customisable, suitable for various dietary preferences, and you can top it with fresh berries or fruit. It’s an easy, make-ahead option for a quick meal on busy mornings.

PREPARATION FOR CHIA SEED PUDDING

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add 2 tbsp chia seeds, 1/2 cup almond milk, 1 tsp honey or maple syrup, and 1/4 tsp vanilla extract in a small bowl or jar.
  1. Mix Well: Stir the mixture thoroughly to distribute the chia seeds evenly. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then stir again to break up clumps.
  1. Refrigerate: Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding-like consistency.
  1. Add Toppings: Top the pudding with 1/4 cup of fresh fruit like berries, mango, or your preferred toppings once it sets.
  1. Serve: Enjoy your Chia Seed Pudding as a breakfast, snack, or light dessert.

TIPS FOR CHIA SEED PUDDING

  • Adjust the amount of honey or maple syrup to your taste, or replace it with agave nectar for a different flavour.
  • Blend the chia seeds with the almond milk before letting it set for a smoother texture.
  • For extra crunch, add nuts, granola, or coconut flakes.

VARIATIONS

  • Chocolate Chia Pudding: Add 1 tbsp cocoa powder and increase the sweetener for a rich, chocolatey version.
  • Protein Boost: Stir in a scoop of your favourite protein powder for an extra protein hit.
  • Coconut Milk Version: Swap the almond milk for coconut milk for a creamier and more tropical flavour.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Fridge: Store chia seed pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Freezing: Chia pudding does not freeze well due to its gelatinous texture when thawed, so it’s best enjoyed fresh.
  • Make-Ahead Tip: You can prepare multiple servings at once and store them in individual containers for an easy grab-and-go meal.
