how to make chia pudding

April 7, 2018 by Marin Mama 5 Comments

how to make chia pudding

Hi Peeps! Yes, I’m still alive and still healthy, so don’t fret. Honestly, I’m just like you all, working hard, raising kids, finding time and space for playtime, and overall living a full happy life. I want you to know that I’m never going to just go away or stop blogging, so please keep checking in, or follow me on Instagram. I’m on Insta all the time posting pics or sharing stories. I love using Instagram stories, as it’s a super easy way to post a quick video or picture on the go and to just say “hi.”

I’m posting this chia pudding because I’ve sharing it on my Insta stories and eating it non-stop, so enough readers asked me for the recipe, so I’m posting it for you all today! It’s my post work travel cleansing breakfast. I feel alive after eating this breakfast and don’t feel weighed down in the least. I also have great energy for my workouts.

This chia pudding is basically a “grab-an-go” breakfast which is perfect for those busy mornings!  It’s ULTRA EASY to make, (takes just 5 minutes) and is ready to go in the morning! All you have to do in the morning is open your refrigerator, grab the pudding, twist off the lid, add a few favorite ingredients, and dig in!  How easy is that?

I typically add my favorite ingredients (berries, un-sweetened coconut, raw cacao nibs) to the chia pudding right before I’m going to eat it, but if you want to have it as a grab-and-go, then you can add everything to the thickened chia before you put in the fridge.

Serves: 1
Ingredients
  • ¼ cup chia seeds
  • ¾ cup almond, pecan or cashew milk - your favorite nut milk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • pinch of pink himalayan sea salt
  • * Optional - 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey - I tend to add maple syrup, as it gives it some flavor, but totally up to you
Instructions
  1. In a cup or small container with a lid; add chia, nut milk, vanilla, cinnamon, sea salt and maple syrup (if using).
  2. Stir the mixture well, making sure to scrape down sides of cup.
  3. Stir mixture every couple of minutes making sure to break up any chia clumps until mixture thickens up, about 20 minutes.
  4. Cover and put in the fridge overnight.
  5. You can top the thickened pudding with your favorite ingredients (berries, coconut, cacao nibs) before you store it in the fridge, or when you're actually going to eat it.
