Description
A simple and nutritious chia pudding recipe that requires minimal preparation. This creamy pudding combines chia seeds soaked overnight in coconut milk with a touch of natural sweetness from maple syrup and is topped with fresh fruit for a healthy and delicious breakfast or snack.
Ingredients
Chia Pudding Base
- 4 tbsp chia seeds
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 cup coconut milk (or any milk of your preference)
Toppings
- Fresh fruit of your choice (e.g., strawberries and blueberries)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the chia seeds, maple syrup, and coconut milk until the mixture is uniform and free of lumps to ensure even texture.
- Transfer to Container: Pour the chia pudding mixture into a jar or container and seal it with a lid to prevent odors from the fridge affecting the pudding.
- Refrigerate: Place the jar in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 3 hours or preferably overnight, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken.
- Add Fruit and Serve: Once set, top the pudding with your choice of fresh fruits like strawberries and blueberries, then enjoy your healthy breakfast or snack.
Notes
- You can substitute maple syrup with honey or agave nectar as a sweetener.
- Any type of milk such as almond, soy, or regular dairy milk can be used instead of coconut milk.
- Mix the pudding well before refrigerating to prevent chia seeds from clumping.
- Customize your toppings by adding nuts, seeds, or granola for added texture and flavor.
