Ingredients
- 3 tbsp Chia seeds ground
- 3/4 cup Almond milk unsweetened (or other milk is fine; i really like unsweetened chocolate almond milk for this too)
- 1/4 cup Heavy whipping cream 38% M.F. (or coconut milk)
- 1 tbsp swerve or monk fruit sweetener
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract pure
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients together and let sit for 5 minutes.
- Stir to evenly distribute the chia seeds and allow to sit, covered, in the fridge for 3 hours or overnight.
- When ready to ready, stir and add more liquid if it's too thick. This can be eaten cold or warmed up a bit.
- Serve with a few berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries).
Notes
This is a basic vanilla flavoured recipe. You can change the flavour by adding different flavoured extracts or by adding other fruit or granola. Also, feel free to use whatever milk you like. It's also good with coconut milk!
Key Lime- add lime extract and a bit of lime zest
Cinnamon Roll- add cinnamon extract and/or powdered cinnamon and a bit more vanilla
Strawberries- add a few chopped berries or low sugar strawberry jam. This is particularly good with the chocolate almond milk variation.
Other toppings: nuts, low-sugar granola, a few sugar-free chocolate chips
TEXTURE TIP: if you don't like the tapioca-like texture of chia pudding, simply run it through your blender before you add the toppings!
