Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 ripe peach, peeled and diced
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or sweetener of choice)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Toppings
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds or granola (for topping)
- Fresh peach slices (for garnish)
Instructions
- Make the Chia Pudding Base: In a blender, combine the diced peach, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth to create a creamy base for the pudding.
- Mix with Chia Seeds: Pour the peach mixture into a bowl or jar and stir in the chia seeds thoroughly to ensure they are evenly distributed and will absorb the flavors.
- Refrigerate: Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight, allowing the chia seeds to swell and form a thick, pudding-like consistency.
- Serve: Before serving, stir the chia pudding well to break up any clumps. Garnish with sliced almonds or granola and fresh peach slices to add crunchy texture and fresh fruit flavor.
Notes
- Soaking the chia seeds overnight enhances texture and digestibility.
- Use any milk alternative such as oat, soy, or cow’s milk to suit dietary needs.
- Maple syrup can be substituted with honey, agave syrup, or a sugar-free sweetener.
- For added protein, consider adding a scoop of protein powder when blending.
- Keep leftover chia pudding refrigerated for up to 3 days.
