Description

Chia Pudding with Fruit is a nutritious and delicious dish featuring creamy chia seeds soaked in your choice of milk, sweetened lightly, and topped with fresh vibrant fruit.

Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 cup milk or milk alternative (almond, coconut, oat, or regular milk)
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or agave)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Fresh Fruit Toppings

  • 1/2 cup fresh fruit (berries, mango, banana, or any favorite fruit)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chia Mixture: In a bowl or jar, whisk together chia seeds, milk of your choice, sweetener, and vanilla extract until well combined to prevent clumping.
  2. Let the Pudding Set: Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight so the chia seeds can swell and create a smooth pudding texture.
  3. Prepare the Fruit: Wash and cut your chosen fresh fruit into bite-sized pieces, ready for layering or mixing into the pudding.
  4. Assemble and Serve: Once the chia pudding is set, layer or stir in the fresh fruit. Optionally garnish with additional toppings like nuts or coconut flakes and serve immediately or keep chilled for later.

Notes

  • Mix the pudding once or twice during the first hour of refrigeration to avoid clumping.
  • Use fresh, peak-season fruits for the best flavor and texture.
  • Start with less sweetener and adjust after chilling according to taste.
  • Experiment with different plant-based milks to find your preferred creaminess and flavor.
  • Store in airtight containers in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and avoid odor absorption.
  • Freezing is not advised as it alters the pudding’s creamy texture.
  • Best served cold or at room temperature; reheating is not recommended.
