Description
Naturally sweetened with dates, this creamy chia pudding is made with just five simple ingredients and no added sugar. Chia seeds are rich in fiber, plant-based protein, and omega-3 fatty acids, making this a nourishing and family approved choice!
Ingredients
1 cup almond milk (or other plant-based milk of your choice)
1/4 cup chia seeds
3 dates
1 tsp vanilla
pinch of salt
optional (but recommended!) toppings: fresh fruit of choice, nut butters, granola, homemade fruit compote
Instructions
1. Place dates and 1/2 of the milk in a high-speed blender and process until perfectly smooth (I use a Nutri bullet).
2. Once processed add this date sweetened milk and all of the remaining ingredients to a bowl and whisk to incorporate.
3. Refrigerate for a minimum of 15 minutes or overnight before enjoying.
4. Get creative and top with fresh fruit, nut butter granola or our family favorite, homemade fruit compote. (I make this easily by simmering frozen fruit and a little water for 10 minutes until the liquid is mostly evaporated and the fruit is condensed like a jam)
Notes
Dry chia seeds will keep 4-5 years in an airtight container.
This simple chia seed pudding will keep in the fridge for 2-3 days.
