Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.25 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 0.5 cup, sliced fresh strawberries
- 0.25 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 medium, peeled and sliced fresh kiwi
- 2 tablespoons slivered almonds
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine chia seeds, almond milk, vanilla extract, and maple syrup.
Whisk the mixture together until the ingredients are well combined.
Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes, then whisk again to prevent clumping.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results, until the chia seeds have absorbed the liquid and the mixture has thickened to a pudding-like consistency.
When ready to serve, stir the pudding to ensure it’s smooth and creamy.
Divide the chia pudding into two serving bowls or cups.
Top each serving with sliced strawberries, blueberries, and kiwi.
Sprinkle slivered almonds on top for added crunch and extra heart-healthy benefits.
Serve immediately and enjoy your heart-healthy chia pudding with fresh fruit!
