Ingredients
Scale
Chia Pudding Base
- 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.
- Mix with Chia Seeds: Pour the peach mixture into a bowl or jar and stir in the chia seeds. Mix well to ensure the seeds are evenly distributed.
- Refrigerate: Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and form a thick pudding-like consistency.
- Serve: Before serving, give the chia pudding a good stir. Top with sliced almonds or granola and fresh peach slices for extra texture and flavor.
Notes
- For best results, refrigerate the chia pudding overnight.
- You can substitute almond milk with any plant-based or dairy milk of your choice.
- Adjust the sweetness by using more or less maple syrup depending on your taste.
- Feel free to swap the toppings with your favorite nuts or seeds.
- Peeling the peach helps create a smoother pudding texture.
