Description:
Chia pudding is an easy and nutritious breakfast that requires no cooking. Chia seeds expand when soaked in liquid, creating a creamy, pudding-like texture. With the added goodness of almond butter, this recipe is rich in healthy fats and protein. It’s a great make-ahead breakfast that you can enjoy throughout the week.

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1 cup almond milk
  • 1 tbsp almond butter
  • 1 tsp maple syrup (optional)
  • Fresh fruit for topping

Instructions:

  1. In a bowl, combine the chia seeds, almond milk, almond butter, and maple syrup.
  2. Stir well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
  3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken.
  4. Once the pudding has set, give it a good stir and top with fresh fruit like berries, banana slices, or mango.

Serving Suggestions:

  • Add a sprinkle of granola or chopped nuts for added texture and crunch.
  • For a more tropical flavor, use coconut milk and top with coconut flakes and pineapple.

Tips:

  • You can prepare multiple servings in jars and store them in the fridge for up to 5 days.
  • If you prefer a sweeter pudding, increase the amount of maple syrup or add stevia.
