I just want you to know how much I love this chia seed pudding. I have loved tapioca pudding since I was little. It gives me fond memories of visiting my Nan and her fruit filled tapioca puddings. Chia seed pudding has a texture and taste very similar to tapioca and it is very good for you.
Chia seeds pack a powerful nutritional punch. A few awesome things Chia seeds contain are protein, fibre, calcium, and Omega 3s. Here is the link to the video I made when I was making it one morning. Low tech.. But you get the point.
Fruity Chia Seed Pudding
- 2 cups of coconut, or almond milk (plant milk of your choosing)
- 2/3 cup of fruit puree of your choosing (Mango, raspberry, blueberry,
- 1/2 cup chia seeds
- 1 tsp of vanilla or seeds of 1 vanilla bean
- 2 Tbsp maple syrup.
- *Optional – pinch of sea salt
- Puree fruit of choosing
- Measure and pour the milk into a medium-sized bowl with the puree.
- Add the remaining ingredients and whisk until combined
- Add the chia seeds 1/4 cup at a time whisking to prevent chia seeds from clumping.
- Let rest for 5-10 minutes as the chia seeds will begin plumping up. You will need to whisk/stir again as this prevents the chia seeds from settling and clumping on the bottom and the milk from rising to the top.
- Place into a covered container and set in the refrigerator overnight or for 6-8 hrs.
- Serve on its own or with more chopped fresh fruit, nuts, and/or granola.
- If you want a sweeter pudding add more sweetener to your taste.
- Enjoy!
