Lemon vanilla chia pudding is a delightful, nutrient-packed treat that combines the tangy taste of lemon with the smooth, creamy texture of Greek yogurt and almond milk. This recipe is not only delicious but also easy to prepare, making it perfect for a quick breakfast or a healthy dessert.
Instructions:
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of almond milk, 2/3 cup of Greek yogurt, 5 teaspoons of lemon juice, 3 tablespoons of maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon of lemon zest, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Gradually add 3 tablespoons of chia seeds to the bowl, whisking continuously to prevent clumping.
- Continue to whisk the mixture for about a minute, making sure the chia seeds are well-incorporated and begin to swell slightly.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture into individual serving containers. Place it in the refrigerator. Let it sit for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to fully expand and thicken the pudding.
- Before serving, give the chia pudding a good stir to ensure an even consistency.
- Spoon the chia pudding into bowls or glasses. Optionally, garnish with fresh fruit, additional lemon zest, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
Tips:
- Ensure the chia seeds are well mixed and not clumped together, as this will ensure an even texture throughout the pudding.
- Let the pudding sit in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight; this allows the chia seeds to fully expand and achieve a pudding-like consistency.
- For extra richness, consider adding an extra dollop of Greek yogurt on top before serving.
- Garnish with fresh fruit, like berries or a few slices of lemon, to add color and an extra burst of flavor.
- Stir the mixture a couple of times during the first hour of refrigeration to prevent the chia seeds from settling at the bottom.
- Always use fresh lemon zest and juice for the best flavor; pre-packaged or bottled versions might not deliver the same zest.
Lemon vanilla chia pudding is a refreshing and healthful option that's sure to please your taste buds. The specialty of this recipe lies in its simplicity and the harmonious blend of lemon and vanilla flavors. It's a perfect choice for those looking to enjoy a nutritious and satisfying meal.
