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:
- In a bowl, combine the chia seeds, almond milk, almond butter, and maple syrup.
- Stir well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken.
- 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.
