I love chia pudding, such an easy, healthy and delicious breakfast. Vanilla Chia Pudding is a classic and here I have switched it up with the addition of more seeds and a little yoghurt for extra creaminess.
Making Vanilla Chia Pudding is easy, here is what you need:
- Almond milk, I love unsweetened almond milk and use it in most of my recipes. If you don’t, substitute for any other kind of milk you want.
- Coconut yoghurt, for an extra creamy chia pudding, Use whatever yoghurt is your favorite, but a thin one works best. Can also be substituted for milk.
- Multiseed mix, I use a ready made mix that contains pumpkin, sunflower, flax, sesame and poppy seeds. If you don’t have a mix, you can take a little of what seeds you have at home.
- Chia seeds, they are high in fiber, antioxidants and protein
- Maple syrup. Agave syrup or other liquid sweetener can also be used. 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.
- Vanilla bean paste, I love this intense flavor of vanilla. Can also be substituted for vanilla extract.
Tips for making the Vanilla Chia Pudding:
- 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.
