Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 2 cups coconut milk (or unsweetened almond milk) (480g)
- 1/2 cup chia seeds (90g)
Sweetener and Flavor
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar-free sweetener (28g) or stevia drops to taste
- 1/8 tsp salt (optional)
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add chia seeds, coconut milk, sweetener, and optionally salt and vanilla extract into a medium mixing bowl to assemble your pudding base.
- Mix Thoroughly: Stir the mixture well until it becomes thick and smooth, ensuring the chia seeds are evenly distributed and begin to absorb the liquid.
- Optional Blending: If you prefer a smoother texture, blend the mixture using a blender or immersion blender until the desired consistency is achieved.
- Portion Pudding: Transfer the chia pudding into small mason jars or bowls. You can eat it right away for a softer pudding or refrigerate it overnight to allow it to thicken further.
- Storage: Cover any leftovers and store them in the refrigerator for up to five days to maintain freshness and quality.
Notes
- You can substitute coconut milk with unsweetened almond milk for a different flavor or lower fat content.
- Sweetener amounts can be adjusted based on your taste preferences; stevia drops offer a zero-calorie alternative.
- For a creamier and smoother pudding, blending is recommended but not required.
- Make sure to stir the pudding well before refrigerating to prevent clumps of chia seeds.
- This recipe keeps well in the fridge for up to 5 days, making it a convenient meal prep option.
