No Fuss Chia Seed Pudding
This no-fuss recipe is one of my favorite bulk food items to prepare. Just 5 ingredients are required for this tasty breakfast, recovery snack, or dessert! It’s a great source of protein, fiber and healthy fats and can easily be prepped for the week ahead in 10 minutes or less. If you’re eating it post-ride or need to add a source of carbohydrate, granola, fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, and/or jams, are the perfect toppings.
Enjoy!
Ingredients
1 cup almond milk or other plant-based milk (Soy, hemp, almond, coconut)
1 cup whole milk yogurt or other plant-based yogurt
1/2 cup chia seeds
1-2 Tbsp honey or maple syrup (Bjorn’s Vanilla Bean Honey is a great sweetener for this recipe!)
2 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp sea salt
Tip: Sub a can of coconut milk for the yogurt to make an extra creamy, coconutty chia pudding.
Chia Pudding Topping Ideas and Ways To Use
Mango puree with toasted coconut/almonds and cocoa nibs
Granola, including this Chocolatey Maca Granola recipe
On top of pancakes or Friday Treat Yo Self French Toast
Mix in with muesli for a pre or post-ride meal
Directions
Pour the milk and yogurt into a large bowl or dish and whisk until smooth. Add chia seeds and whisk until well combined Add remaining ingredients and whisk to incorporate. The chia will start to expand and absorb the liquid, so make sure you have some extra space in the dish!
Let the mixture sit out on the counter for at least 20 minutes, mixing every 5-10 minutes to ensure the chia absorbs without clumping. Cover and refrigerate overnight (or at least 6 hours). The chia pudding should be thick and creamy. If not, add more chia seeds, stir, and refrigerate for another hour or so.
Enjoy for breakfast or as a snack topped with fresh fruit, granola, dried fruit, nuts, seeds, jams, etc…
