Chia Seed Pudding

Chia Seed Pudding

 

This was my first time to use chia seeds.  I really like this pudding and have found it to be a good snack or breakfast food.  My almost 2-year-old loves it, too.  I blended in some chocolate chips with the other ingredients to make it even tastier and palatable for my kids.

Recipe type: Breakfast

Serves: 4 servings

Ingredients

• 2 cups coconut milk (homemade or natural)
• ½ cup Chia Seeds
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¼ cup (or less) maple syrup (or sub any sweetener)
• Optional: ¼ teaspoon cinnamon powder

Instructions

1. For Blended/Smooth Version: Place all ingredients in blender and blend on high for 1-2 minutes until completely smooth.
2. For Whole Chia Seed Version: Blend all ingredients except chia seeds in a blender until smooth (including any added flavors, fruits or chocolate). Whisk in chia seeds.
3. Pour mixture into a jar or glass container and place in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight to let gel. I prefer to make this at night to have ready for a fast breakfast the next day. It is also great to make in the morning for a delicious pre-made dessert at night.
