We've been enjoying a lot of smoothies around here these days and have had chia seeds on hand. I thought it would be fun to make an Easy Chia Pudding with two ways of enjoying it. Chia seeds have a lot of nutritional value and pudding is really simple to make. You just need two ingredients for Chia Pudding. I used a vanilla almond milk mixed with chia seeds. You do need to let the pudding come together in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Try our mango-banana-coconut or blueberry-coconut topping!
How to Make Chia Pudding?
Combine chia seeds with any milk. For this Easy Chia Pudding recipe, I used vanilla almond milk so it has some sweetness in it already. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then stir again. Then place in the fridge overnight if possible, or at least 2 hours.
Once the pudding has set, you can spoon it into dishes. You could also separate into dishes before hand but I found this easier to do the next day.
Next, make your toppings. For the mango topping, place a handful of frozen mango into a handheld blender with water and blend. Pour on top of your chia pudding. Add sliced bananas and sprinkle coconut shavings on top.
Same goes for the blueberry topping. Blend a handful of frozen blueberries with a little bit of water. Then pour it on top of the chia pudding. Sprinkle with fresh blueberries and shaved coconut.
