I have been meaning to make Chia pudding ever since I saw a recipe for it on the back of the package and thought...Hmmmm that might be good. Up until now I was just putting Chia seeds in hot water with honey and drinking it like tea, which is a super yummy as well and a great alternative to tea if you want a hot drink without the caffeine. Anyways, I found this recipe online at blog.freepeople.com and tweaked it just a little bit. It's a super delicious and healthy snack. Even my 18 month old loves it. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
1 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/4 cup chia seeds
3 tablespoons baking cocoa powder
1/8 tsp pink Himalayan sea salt (found this at Trader Joe's)
1 tablespoon organic maple agave syrup (also found at Trader Joe's)
Put all ingredients in a medium sized glass bowl and mix well. After 30 minutes, mix again to prevent chia seeds from clumping together. Cover and refrigerate over night.
*I like to garnish with fresh berries and sliced almonds. I also drizzle and toss the berries in just a little of the syrup before serving. You can also garnish with chocolate shavings and other fruits...the possibilities are endless.
*This recipe is great because it can be tweaked in so many ways. Last night I made a vanilla one by omitting the cocoa powder and adding 1 tsp of vanilla. I also used less almond milk and added Greek yogurt. Can't wait to try it today. I'm sure it will be delish!
