Vanilla almond chia seed pudding is a delicious and nutritious option for breakfast or as a snack. This simple recipe is quick to prepare, packed with protein, and rich in omega-3 fatty acids from chia seeds. The combination of vanilla extract and almond milk adds a subtle sweetness and a nutty flavor, making this pudding both satisfying and healthy.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a medium-sized bowl, add the chia seeds, almond milk, and vanilla extract.
- Stir the ingredients together very well. Ensure that the chia seeds are evenly distributed and not clumping together. You may use a whisk or a spoon for this step.
- Allow the mixture to sit for about 10-15 minutes, then stir again to break up any clumps that may have formed.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture to a jar with a lid. Place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight. This resting period allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and form a pudding-like consistency.
- After refrigerating, check the pudding. If it's too thick, you can add a bit more almond milk and stir until you reach your desired consistency.
- Give the pudding a final stir and serve chilled. You can enjoy it as is or top it with fresh fruits, nuts, or a drizzle of honey for added flavor.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The pudding should keep well for up to 4-5 days.
Tips:
- For best results, use fresh and high-quality ingredients, especially the chia seeds and almond milk.
- Stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure that the chia seeds are evenly distributed and do not clump together.
- Let the pudding sit in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to fully absorb the liquid, resulting in a perfect pudding consistency.
- Feel free to adjust the sweetness by adding a natural sweetener like honey, maple syrup, or agave, if desired.
- Top your pudding with fresh fruits, nuts, or seeds for an extra layer of flavor and texture.
Vanilla almond chia seed pudding is an excellent choice for a wholesome and delicious treat. It is remarkably easy to prepare, requiring only a handful of ingredients and minimal effort. By following these tips, you can enhance the flavor and texture of your pudding, making it a versatile dish that can be enjoyed anytime.
