Why Chia Seed Pudding?
Chia seeds are a powerhouse of nutrients, and when combined with the creaminess of almond milk, it creates a perfect balance of taste and health. This pudding can be prepared in advance, making it an excellent choice for busy mornings or as a refreshing dessert at the end of the day.
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons of chia seeds
- 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup
- 1 cup of fresh fruits (such as berries, banana slices, or mango cubes)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chia seeds with almond milk. Stir well to ensure the seeds are evenly distributed.
- Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the almond milk, forming a gel-like consistency.
- The next morning, stir the mixture again to break up any clumps. Sweeten with honey to your liking.
- Top the pudding with fresh fruits just before serving. This adds a delightful freshness and natural sweetness to your pudding.
