Ingredients

CHIA PUDDINGS:

  • ½ cup Chia Seeds (I use Navitas Organics)
  • 2-3 Tbsps pure maple syrup (See Notes!)
  • 2 tsps Chai spice mix, homemade (See Notes!)
  • 1 ½ cups Almond milk (I use Califia Farms; You can use your fave plant-based milk!)
  • 1-2 Tbsps Almond butter (I use Justin's)

OPTIONAL TOPPINGS:

  • Cocowhip, optional
  • Cinnamon sticks (I use McCormick Spice)

Instructions

TO MAKE THE CHIA PUDDING:

  • Add all ingredients to a medium bowl, stirring until well combined.
  • Let mixture sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes or until it begins to thicken and becomes creamy. Stir slightly.
  • To serve, add chia pudding to a cup or jar and top with Cocowhip (or your favorite topping), additional chai spices, and a cinnamon stick, if preferred.
  • Bon Appetit!

Notes

  • STORAGE: Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Perfect for meal prep for the week!
  • TOASTED PECANS (TOPPING): Add chopped pecans to a baking sheet and toasting them in the oven (400 degrees Fahrenheit) for 5-10 minutes, tossing them halfway to avoid browning on one side.
  • NUT BUTTER: If preferred, you can always substitute peanut butter with Almond butter, SunButter (perfect for allergy-free needs!), Tahini (Sesame Seed Butter), Hazelnut Butter, etc.
  • SWEETENER: Instead of maple syrup, you can simply use Agave.
  • CHAI SPICE MIX: To make your own homemade Chai Tea spice blend: 2 Tbsps ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1 tablespoon ground ginger, 1 teaspoon ground allspice, 1 teaspoon ground cardamom, ½ teaspoon ground cloves, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
  • OVERNIGHT OPTION: Follow steps and then tightly cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight (or at least 8 hours).
