Chia Pudding - Summer
I recently started preparing this as a healthy treat for my son. Chia seeds are gaining a lot of attention as one of the top 'superfoods'. They are full of fibre, omega 3 fatty acids, and protein. Also they have an amazing ability to produce a pudding-type texture when soaked. This recipe is very easy, and can be used as a satisfying breakfast item of dessert. This is a basic recipe, but can be added to in all kinds of creative ways.
3/4 cup black chia seeds2 cups rice milk/almond milk/hemp milk
2 cups coconut milk
2 Tbsp maple syrup (optional)
Optional toppings:
Seasonal berries, sliced bananas, raw cashew pieces, hemp hearts, etc.
Combine chia seeds, rice / almond / hemp milk, coconut milk, and optional maple syrup in a glass jar. Stir occasionally for the first 5 minutes and soak in the fridge overnight. Eat in the morning topped with your favourite toppings.
