Description
A creamy and naturally sweet chia seed pudding made with blended Medjool dates and plant-based milk, perfect for a nutritious breakfast, snack, or light dessert.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 4–5 soft Medjool dates, pitted
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- Fresh fruits for topping (optional)
- Chopped nuts or coconut flakes for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Add almond milk, pitted dates, and vanilla extract to a blender and blend until completely smooth.
- Pour the blended mixture into a bowl or jar and stir in the chia seeds and cinnamon.
- Mix thoroughly to prevent clumping, let sit for 5 minutes, then stir again.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until thick and pudding-like.
- Stir well before serving and add fresh fruits, nuts, or coconut flakes as desired.
Notes
- For a thicker consistency, add an extra tablespoon of chia seeds.
- If the pudding becomes too thick, stir in a splash of milk before serving.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Maple syrup or honey can be used instead of dates if preferred.
