PREPARATION
These steps are followed for the preparation of Grapefruit Chia Pudding With Almond Milk Blend:
- Juice The Grapefruit: Squeeze the fresh grapefruit and strain to remove seeds or pulp. Fresh juice provides the best citrus flavour and smooth consistency for the pudding.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the grapefruit juice, almond milk, chia seeds and honey to a bowl or jar. Mixing them ensures the flavours blend before the resting period.
- Stir Thoroughly: Stir the mixture well to distribute the chia seeds evenly. This step prevents clumping and helps the pudding set into a smooth texture.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the mixture and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight. Chia seeds expand as they absorb the liquid, forming a creamy pudding base.
- Check Consistency: Stir again before serving. Add a small amount of almond milk if a thinner texture is preferred. Adjusting this step allows the pudding to match your desired creaminess.
- Serve And Enjoy: Enjoy chilled as a refreshing breakfast, light dessert or energising snack.
