Healthy Chia Seed Pudding
This simple yet elegant breakfast, snack or dessert becomes a creamy, customizable canvas for your favourite flavours.
Ingredients
- 2 cups coconut milk, or whatever milk you prefer
- 1/2 cup chia seeds
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
Instructions
- In a bowl or measuring cup, combine milk, seeds and maple syrup. Stir well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed in the liquid.
- Pour into prepared glass jars, cover and place it in the fridge for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken. If time allows stir occasionally to ensure seeds are mixed throughout.
- Once thickened, top with fresh fruit, nuts,granola or toasted coconut.
Notes
I do not like puddings overly sweet so I tend to use less sweetener. For a little sweeter chia pudding, add more maple syrup, tasting as you go.
These are some add-ins and toppers I like to use:
1/2 tsp vanilla or almond extract, 1/2 cup fresh fruit or 1/4 cup frozen, honey instead of maple syrup, 1 tbsp cocoa powder, or more to taste, 1 tsp lemon zest, 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt (mixed in or on top before eating), 1 tsp Matcha powder, toasted sliced almonds or nuts
