Chia seeds are tiny nutritional powerhouses loaded with fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, and protein. This pudding is not only satisfying but also incredibly easy to prepare.
Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Fresh fruit e.g., mango, berries, banana for topping
- Nuts or seeds e.g., almonds, walnuts for garnish
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
- Add the chia seeds to the mixture, stirring thoroughly to prevent clumping.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to expand and create a pudding-like consistency.
- Once the pudding has set, stir well before serving and divide into bowls or jars.
- Top with your choice of fresh fruit and a sprinkle of nuts or seeds for added texture and flavor.
- Enjoy it chilled as a healthy breakfast or a delicious dessert at any time of the day!
