Easy 3-Ingredient Chia Pudding

Posted on 10th September 2020 at 4:06 pm by nutcrackerhouse / 0

Let’s talk chia pudding! If you haven’t tried this healthy nuts breakfast recipe before, now is the time!

The perfect chia pudding consistency is 3-4 Tablespoons of chia seeds to 1 cup of liquid.

The type of liquid is up to you and will vary based on preference and dietary restrictions. I love using plant-based milk like almond milk, cashew milk, and coconut milk. They give the chia pudding a creamy consistency that’s really nice. Full-fat canned coconut milk is great if you’re looking to increase the thickness and make a really filling breakfast, snack, or dessert out of the chia pudding.

The chia seeds start to absorb the liquid pretty quickly, but you do need to give the pudding a bit of time to build the gel-like consistency. I recommend 1 -2 hours or overnight.

Ingredients

2 tablespoon chia seeds
1/2 cup coconut milk or milk of choice
nut & fruit mix (I used a perfect balanced mix from Healthy Mix No2)

Instructions

Pour ingredients into a jar and mix well. Let settle for 2-3 minutes then mix again very well until you see no clumping.
Cover the jar and store in the fridge overnight or for at least 2 hours.
When you’re ready to eat it, top it with your favorite fruit and enjoy the cold!

No rules for this meal, you can add anything you love – dried goji, raspberry, and melon (on the photo below). Without sugar. Buuuut put a little bit less honey 😸
