Chia Seed Pudding


Chia seeds are a great source of omega-3, plant-based protein, and fiber.

These puddings are incredibly versatile. Choose a favorite fruit to go with it. Use a dairy-free yogurt, such as coconut yogurt to make it vegan.

Chia Seed Pudding


Ingredients:

  • One 13.5-ounce can light coconut milk
  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup fresh pineapple chunks
  • 2 medium kiwis, peeled and sliced
  • 1/4 cup raspberries
  • 2 tablespoons roasted almonds, chopped


Method:

  1. Special equipment: four 8-ounce glass jars with lids.
  2. Stir together the coconut milk, chia seeds and maple syrup in a medium bowl. Divide the mixture evenly among four 8-ounce glass jars. Screw on the lids, and refrigerate overnight, covered, to allow the seeds to plump and the mixture to thicken into a loose pudding.
  3. Arrange the pineapples, kiwis, raspberries and almonds in separate layers on top of the pudding. Cover with the lid, and keep refrigerated for up to 1 day.
