Orange Creamsicle Chia Pudding

Orange juice is usually a staple of my breakfast, here I mixed it into this creamy and delicious Orange Chia Pudding that tastes a little like the childhood favourite, creamsicle! Made with fresh squeezed orange juice and a little yoghurt for that extra creaminess. Such an easy and healthy, make ahead breakfast that’s also vegan and gluten-free.

Making Orange 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
• 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. 
• Yoghurt, use whatever yoghurt is your favorit, but a thick consistency works best. I really like vanilla yoghurt for the topping.

TIPS FOR MAKING THis Orange Chia Pudding:

• 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.
