Chia seeds pudding is an awesome meal-prep option. You can make a batch on Sunday to have in the fridge for a quick breakfast, healthy snack or dessert. It’s loaded with fibre, protein and healthy fats, low in sugar and super filling! Chia seeds pudding is suitable for all types of dietary preferences.
Chia seeds are a wonderful alternative source of omega-3 fats, fibre, and energy. This easy pudding is similar to tapioca. You can also serve this delicious pudding warm, if you desire. Fresh fruits can be added for a nice twist. You can use whatever dried fruit you prefer as the topping, my personal favourite is strawberries. In this recipe, I am using almond milk to make the pudding and honey as the sweetener.
Ingredients
- 6 tbsps. Chia seeds
- 2 cups unsweetened coconut, almond or cashew milk
- ½ tsp. Vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp. Maple syrup, honey or sweetener of choice (optional)
- Blueberries and strawberries, for topping
Method
- In a bowl or mason jar, mix together chia seeds, milk, maple syrup and vanilla. If you’re using a mason jar, you can put the lid on and shake the mixture to combine everything.
- After combining the chia pudding mixture well, let it sit for 5 minutes, give it another stir/shake to break up any clumps of chia seeds, cover and put the mixture in the fridge to “set-up” for 1-2 hours.
- You can also prepare your pudding the night before and let it sit in the fridge overnight if that’s easier.
- When ready to serve, divide the mixture between two bowls, top the pudding with berries and enjoy. You can use any toppings of your liking such as coconut flakes, fruits or nuts.
