Vanilla Chia Seed Pudding

Ingredients

  • Mixed berries and lemon zest
  • Blueberries (toasted almonds and maple syrup)
  • 2 cups unsweetened almond milk (You can also use coconut, soy, or regular milk)
  • Diced mango (toasted coconut, and dark chocolate shavings)
  • Sliced Bananas with cinnamon
  • Blood orange segments and pistachios
  • *For a thicker pudding, replace 1 cup of almond milk with 1 cup non-fat Greek yogurt or non-dairy yogurt of your choice
  • ¼ cup plus 3 tablespoons raw chia seeds
  • 1¼ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • Granola
  • Pinch of kosher salt
  • Dried Fruit
  • 2 tablespoons good quality maple syrup

Method

  1. Place the chia seeds in a medium bowl. Add the yogurt, almond milk, vanilla, maple syrup and a pinch of kosher salt. Whisk to combine.
  2. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, stirring occasionally. I recommend letting the pudding rest in the refrigerate overnight, but 4 hours will do if you’re feeling antsy.240 min timer
  3. Before serving, stir the pudding to make sure that there aren’t any clumps. Spoon pudding into bowls or glasses and garnish with toppings of your choice.
