Chia pudding is a simple, nutritious, and delicious dish that can be enjoyed as a healthy breakfast, snack, or dessert. This recipe integrates the wholesome goodness of chia seeds with the delightful taste of raspberries and a hint of cinnamon and vanilla. It’s perfect for those looking to incorporate more fiber and omega-3 fatty acids into their diet. The addition of almond milk makes it a great option for those who are lactose intolerant or following a plant-based diet.
Instructions:
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add 1 oz (27g) of chia seeds, 1 tsp (3g) of stevia leaf sweetener, and 1/4 tsp (0.65g) of cinnamon. Mix thoroughly to ensure the dry ingredients are well combined.
- Pour 1 cup (240g) of almond milk into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir in 1/4 tsp (1.05g) of vanilla extract. Stir the mixture well to make sure the chia seeds are evenly distributed and fully immersed in the liquid.
- Using a whisk or fork, mix the ingredients vigorously for about 1-2 minutes. This helps to prevent the chia seeds from clumping together and ensures they are evenly distributed through the liquid.
- Allow the mixture to sit for about 5 minutes, then give it another good stir. This helps to make sure the chia seeds don’t settle at the bottom and promotes even thickening.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture into an airtight container. Place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and form a pudding-like consistency.
- After the chia pudding has set and thickened, give it a final stir. Divide the pudding into individual serving bowls or cups.
- Wash and drain 1 cup (250g) of fresh raspberries. Distribute them evenly over each serving of the chia pudding.
- Your delicious chia pudding is now ready to enjoy! You can add additional toppings like nuts, seeds, or a drizzle of honey if desired.
Tips:
- Ensure you stir the chia seeds well initially to prevent them from clumping together.
- Let the mixture sit for at least 2 hours or overnight in the refrigerator to allow the chia seeds to fully absorb the liquid and achieve a pudding-like consistency.
- For a creamier texture, you can blend the mixture before refrigerating it.
- Feel free to adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more or less stevia leaf sweetener or by using another sweetener of your choice.
- If you prefer a different milk, such as coconut milk or cow’s milk, they can be substituted in equal measure.
- Top with fresh raspberries just before serving for a burst of flavor and a beautiful presentation.
- Store leftover chia pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 3-4 days.
This chia pudding is not only easy to make but also incredibly versatile.
