The Perfect Chia Pudding

Chia Pudding - Frozen mixed berries and pecans.

I have perfected this recipe so you don’t have to… I have made chia pudding before and the consistency was too thick or gluggy, I also always felt hungry an hour later which really bugs me - I want to have brekkie and not feel peckish within the hour!

I put 3 different types of fibre in this recipe, I really believe the more plant foods and fibre the better, although sometimes our tummy gets bloated, sore and gassy with too much fibre. The fibre in this recipe is easy to digest, gentle on the gut and can ease some of those pesky gut symptoms. The added protein also helps to keep you full and satisfied :)

Ingredients (makes 1 pot)

1 teaspoon white chia seeds

1 teaspoon psyllium husk

1 teaspoon hemp seeds

1 teaspoon goji berries (optional)

3/4 of a cup of milk (I used coconut milk in this recipe but can use nut milk, soy milk or dairy)

Method

Put the chia seeds, psyllium husk, hemp seeds and goji berries in a glass or bowl.

Pour in the milk and let it set overnight.

In the morning, I like to pour my glass out into a bigger bowl and have a bit more room for toppings.

Topping Options

Banana, peanut butter and extra hemp seeds.

Frozen mixed berries (you can put these in the glass to defrost overnight)

Cinnamon, honey and macadamia nuts.

Mango and lime juice.

Stewed apple or pear and pecans.

I would encourage you to choose fruits that are in season :) Mango, peaches, dragonfruit etc. are summer fruits so I like to enjoy those now and then as we head into autumn and closer to winter i’ll start using stewed apples and pear.
