Orange Creamsicle Chia Pudding

Chia pudding is a healthy and delicious breakfast staple at my house. It is so easy to make, this Creamsicle Chia Pudding recipe can easily be doubled for meal-prep. Oranges and orange juice is usually available all year round. Squeeze your own orange juice or buy it freshly squired. I like to make this orange chia pudding with freshly squeezed orange juice with lots of pulp that adds flavor and texture to this chia pudding.

Ingredients

Making Orange Creamsicle Chia Pudding is easy, here is what you need:

• Orange juice, fresh squeezed is the way to go here! I like mine with a lot of pulp, use your favourite. Store bought juice works as well.
• Chia seeds, they are high in fiber, antioxidants and protein.
• Maple syrup, or other liquid sweetener like agave syrup can also be used. Taste the chia pudding before adding maple syrup, depending on how sweet the orange juice is.
• Vanilla extract, and essential flavor in this chia pudding to make it taste like a Creamsicle. Can also be substituted for vanilla bean paste. 
• Yoghurt, use whatever yoghurt is your favorit, but a thick consistency works best. I really like vanilla yoghurt for the topping. For a vegan chia pudding, use a plant based yoghurt.

See recipe card for quantities.

Instructions

Making this Orange Chia Pudding is fast and easy, perfect for meal-prep.

1. Add all the ingredients in a bowl and stir well. Taste and add more maple syrup if desired. Cover the chia pudding or place it in an airtight container.
2. Let the chia pudding chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours, or over night until thickened. Spoon into serving containers and top with vanilla yoghurt and orange zest if desired. Enjoy!

Top tips:

• Stir the chia seeds into the orange juice 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.
