Basic Chia Pudding
One of the easiest to make yet healthiest breakfasts you'll ever have. Not to mention it's so versatile and only limited by your own imagination. Once you know the basic formula to make chia pudding you can get creative and try different combinations.
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond milk
- 4 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons Pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 banana, sliced
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds
- 1 teaspoon raw cacao powder
Instructions
- In a container add milk, chia seeds, vanilla extract and maple syrup. Securely put a lid on top and give it a good shake to mix all ingredients together. Put in the fridge.
- After 15 minutes, give the container another good shake and put back into the fridge for a minimum of 4 hours. You can leave this in the fridge for several days until you want to serve it.
- To serve, put the pudding mixture into two serving glasses or small bowls. Add chopped banana on top with pumpkin seeds and a sprinkle of raw cacao powder.
Notes
- If you don't have almond milk available, substitute with oat milk, coconut milk, soy milk or get adventurous and try a fruit smoothie or juice mixture. I haven't seen a recipe using cows milk but that doesn't mean you can't give it a go and see whether you like it.
- For the toppings the skies the limit! Try goji berries, blueberries, cranberries, raspberries or any other berry! Go for something with crunch such as almond flakes, sunflower seeds, muesli, walnuts, pecans, pomegranate seeds, coconut flakes, chopped apple.
