– 1/4 cup chia seed – 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based) – 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste) – 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup mixed fresh or frozen fruits (such as berries, mango, kiwi, or sliced banana) – Optional toppings: additional fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, or shredded coconut
Prepare the Chia Pudding Base: In a mixing bowl or jar, combine the chia seeds, milk, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir well to combine, making sure there are no clumps of chia seeds. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping as the chia seeds absorb the liquid.
Blend or Mash the Fruit: If using fresh fruits, wash and chop them into small pieces. If using frozen fruits, allow them to thaw slightly. Transfer the fruits to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, you can mash the fruits with a fork instead of blending.
Mix Fruit Puree with Chia Pudding Base: Pour the blended or mashed fruit puree into the chia pudding mixture. Stir well to evenly distribute the fruit throughout the pudding mixture. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more honey or maple syrup.
Chill and Let Set: Cover the bowl or jar with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate the fruit-infused chia pudding for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the chia seeds to thicken and the flavors to meld.
Serve and Enjoy: Once the chia pudding has set, give it a good stir to ensure the fruit is evenly distributed. Spoon the pudding into serving bowls or jars. Top with additional fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, or shredded coconut if desired. Serve chilled and enjoy!
This Fruit-Infused Chia Pudding is a refreshing and nutritious treat that's perfect for breakfast, snack time, or even dessert. Experiment with different combinations of fruits to create your own unique flavor combinations!
