Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup chia seeds
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh strawberries
- 0.5 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 medium banana
- 0.25 cup toasted coconut flakes (optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the chia seeds, unsweetened almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir well until all the chia seeds are evenly mixed and starting to swell.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for the best results. This will allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and form a pudding-like consistency.
After the chia pudding has set, stir it once more to ensure there are no clumps of chia seeds and the texture is smooth.
To prepare the fruit topping, wash the strawberries and blueberries thoroughly. Hull and slice the strawberries, and peel and slice the banana.
Divide the chia pudding into four individual serving bowls or jars.
Top each portion with a mixture of strawberries, blueberries, and banana slices.
Sprinkle toasted coconut flakes on top if using, for added texture and flavor.
Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, covered, to grab a quick and nutritious meal on the go.
