If you need a seriously fast wholefood breakfast on the go…then welcome to the world of chia puddings. A real craze amongst health enthusiasts as its simply so delicious and thanks to the slippery soaked chia seeds a real comforter and healer on the gut.
This recipe is very versatile. Use any dairy free milk and the coconut cream is purely optional. Having tried however many chia puddings the below recipe I believe provides the perfect balance of creaminess.
Toppings are purely what your heart desires. Berries work particularly well, but any seasonal fruit will do, along with your preferred nuts, seeds, coconut flakes etc. The options are endless. For a bit of extra sweetness I like to drizzle just a little raw honey. What I will say is definitely make sure you use vanilla in the recipe as this gives the pudding a caramel like flavour.
I make a large batch and place in glasses in the fridge ready to eat in the morning with whatever is at hand. Simply delightful and a must try.
