This is a great breakfast alternative if you are in the mood for something sweet and healthy. Chia seeds are high in fiber and are a great source of protein, omega-3s, and calcium. This will fill you up and give you an energy boost throughout the morning until lunchtime.
I'm one of those people who used to get grossed out by chia seeds. But this recipe is really great for someone who wants to try them for the first time.
The texture is very similar to tapioca pudding and the sweetness from the fruit and vanilla make it taste like a dessert for breakfast.
You can drink it from a glass or eat it with a spoon out of a bowl.
VANILLA-ALMOND CHIA PUDDING
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/4 cup chia seeds
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp agave (optional, the fruit adds enough sweetness)
1 cup frozen fruit blended for topping:
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/4 cup chia seeds
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp agave (optional, the fruit adds enough sweetness)
1 cup frozen fruit blended for topping:
Raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, and 1/2 banana (add a little almond milk to the blender to make it easier to blend)
Combine almond milk, chia seeds, vanilla, and agave (optional) in a tall glass. Be sure to stir mixture every couple minutes for the first 10 mins to make a smoother pudding texture and to avoid clumping at the bottom. Store covered in the refrigerator overnight. Stir well before serving. Top with blended frozen fruit and enjoy!
