Chai Spiced Chia Pudding

This creamy and easy Chai Spiced Chia Pudding is a delicious and healthy make-ahead breakfast or dessert. It’s filling and packed full of protein, fibre, antioxidants and it’s vegan and with no added refined sugar. 

Chai latte is one of my favorite hot drinks, especially now in the fall. There is something so comforting about the taste and aroma of this Indian tea and spice combo. Thats why I decided to incorporate in my breakfast and I am so glad I did!

Tips for making Chia Pudding

• I love unsweetened almond milk and use it in most of my recipes. If you dont, substitute for any other kind of milk you want. For a really rich and creamy chia pudding, use full-fat coconut milk from a can. This will also add a lovely coconut flavor to your chia pudding.
• I used one tea bag in this recipe, if you like a stronger tea flavor, you can add 2 tea bags.
• Stir the chia seeds into the milk mixture well, and then stir again! This will prevent lumps of chia seeds forming in you chia pudding.
• For best results, let the chia pudding cill out in the fridge overnight. If you are short on time, chill for a minimum of 4 hours.
• Taste the chia pudding before adding maple syrup, I don’t like it so sweet, sometimes I don’t add any sweetener at all. I find the almond milk has a sweet flavor on its own. Agave syrup or coconut sugar can also be used. If you are using coconut sugar, add it to the milk when it is hot so it dissolves.
