Vanilla Chia Pudding
At times, life feels like a whirlwind, with weeks flying by, leaving us stressed and out-of-balance. In those moments, I try to slow-down and breathe. Taking time for myself & my well-being through little yet significant actions can go a long way. Meditation, going for a walk, spending quality-time with friends & family or preparing nourishing foods for the body & soul are just a few of my go-to’s.
Naturally high in protein, fibre & healthy fats, this 3-ingredient Vanilla Chia Pudding is a staple in my household. Quick & super easy to prepare, it makes for the perfect breakfast or snack. Simply whisk the ingredients together, let them sit for a few minutes, whisk again to redistribute the chia seeds & chill until firm.
Once you’ve got the basic recipe down, you can play around with spices, sweeteners & an endless array of toppings, to boost the flavour of your pudding! Try some freshly-made fruit compote, homemade granola, toasted nuts & seeds or seasonal fruit. Enjoy!

VANILLA CHIA PUDDING
150g of chia seeds
850g of plant-based milk*
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
In a large bowl, add all the ingredients - chia seeds, plant-based milk & vanilla extract. Whisk to combine.
Set aside for 2 minutes, until the mixture begins to gel.
Give the mixture another good stir to evenly distribute the chia seeds and remove any clumps.
Cover the bowl or scrape the mixture into smaller containers/pots and leave in the fridge to set, at least 4 hours or overnight.**
Serve with fresh fruits, compote, jam, granola or anything else you’re heart desires!
Store in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to a week!
Notes: *I use almond milk, but feel free to use any plant-based milk you desire. For a creamier chia pudding, I recommend trying coconut milk.
**Leaving the chia pudding to chill and firm up overnight is the ideal situation, although 4 hours in the fridge works fine too.
