Ingredients
Scale
- 2 –3Tablespoons Chia Seeds (depending on how thick you like it)
- 1 cup milk (I prefer almond, cashew or coconut milk)
Optional Additions:
- 1–2 Tablespoons almond butter
- Dash of vanilla extract
- crushed berries (I used some blackberries in the above picture)
- Maple syrup, honey or other sweetener to taste
- 1 scoop of your favorite protein powder (to up the protein)
Topping Ideas (to get you started–be creative):
- Fresh berries (blackberries, strawberries, blueberries, and/or raspberries) + Cinnamon +walnuts
- Apples or applesauce + cinnamon + maple syrup + almonds
- 100% Pumpkin Puree + Pumpkin Pie Spice + maple syrup + pecans
- 1–2 TB cocoa powder + sliced bananas + some peanut butter or PB powder
Instructions
Overnight Method:
- Place chia seeds, milk, almond butter, and dash of vanilla together and place in a glass container with a lid. I like to use a mason jar. Shake well and place in the fridge. After 20 minutes or so give it a good stir and then cover and leave until morning. When you are ready to eat it, stir it again and add desired toppings. Enjoy!
Stovetop Method:
- This method is perfect for when I forget to plan ahead the night before or feel like a warm breakfast. Whisk the chia seeds, milk, almond butter and vanilla (if using) in a small sauce pan until well combined. Cook over medium/ medium high heat until the mixture starts to bubble. Then remove from the heat and cover pan with a lid. Allow to cool for a few minutes. Stir and pour into a bowl or mason jar and sprinkle with desired toppings. Enjoy
Smoother Pudding Method:
- Place ingredients in blender and blend until smooth then place in fridge for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
