Orange chia pudding is a delightful and refreshing dessert that combines the tangy taste of orange with the creamy texture of chia seeds. This healthy treat is perfect for breakfast, a snack, or even dessert. Packed with natural sweetness and rich in nutrients, it's easy to prepare and a sure hit among all age groups.
Instructions:
- Start by zesting the orange to obtain 1 teaspoon of orange zest.
- Peel and dice half of the orange into small pieces.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl or a jar, combine the almond milk and orange juice. Stir well to ensure they are thoroughly mixed.
- Add the honey, orange zest, and diced orange pieces into the bowl or jar. Mix well until the honey is completely dissolved and the orange pieces are evenly distributed.
- Stir in the dried coconut meat and chia seeds. Make sure the chia seeds are evenly dispersed throughout the mixture to prevent clumping.
- Give the entire mixture a good stir to ensure all ingredients are well combined. If you're using a jar, you can put the lid on and shake it well.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or seal the jar with its lid. Place it in the refrigerator and let it set for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and form a pudding-like consistency.
- Once the pudding has set, give it a final stir. Serve it as is, or garnish with extra orange zest, coconut flakes, or fresh orange slices for added texture and flavor.
- Enjoy your refreshing and delicious Orange Chia Pudding as a breakfast, snack, or dessert!
Tips:
- For best results, use freshly squeezed orange juice to enhance the fresh citrus flavor.
- Ensure the orange zest is finely grated to evenly distribute the zesty taste throughout the pudding.
- Soak the chia seeds in the mixture for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to achieve the desired pudding consistency.
- Stir the mixture well before refrigerating to prevent the chia seeds from clumping together.
- Consider using a sweetener of your choice such as maple syrup or agave nectar if you prefer alternatives to honey.
- Top the pudding with fresh fruit, nuts, or extra coconut flakes for added texture and flavor.
