The chia seed has been having a moment for what seems like the past five years. That’s probably because its uses are limitless. My favorite everyday way to use chia seeds is in place of flax seeds in a Flax Egg, Simple Fruit Compote, and Grain-Free Granola. But upon discovering you could also use them to make creamy, dreamy pudding, I had to give it a go. Consider this recipe my whittled down, super simple version that’s naturally sweetened, vegan, and gluten free. Anyone can make it! Plus, it’s packed with omega-3s and the perfect on-the-go breakfast. If that doesn’t sell you, I don’t know what will (Rhonda). Let’s get our pudding on, shall we? This recipe is simple, requiring just 6 basic ingredients that are totally versatile. This is the beauty of chia pudding. Once you have the chia seed-to-liquid ratio right, the flavor possibilities are endless.
I hope you LOVE this pudding. It’s: CreamySeriously pudding-likeNaturally sweetenedChocolatyLoaded with nutrients& Easy to make! Make this the night before for a decadent breakfast or mid-day snack. Or prep it in the morning for a hands-off, simple dessert to unwind from the day. You can’t go wrong either way! And it lasts for a few days in the fridge – if you can resist sneaking spoonfuls that long.
