Berry Chia Seed Pudding

Chia pudding is one of the easiest make-ahead breakfasts out there. Stir chia seeds into your favorite milk, let them sit overnight, and wake up to a thick, creamy pudding. This version layers in a simple mixed berry sauce that turns the whole thing a beautiful shade of purple. It is as pretty as it is delicious.

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup whole black chia seeds
  • 1 cup milk of choice
  • 1 tbsp TN maple syrup
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 tsp Duck River honey
  • Toppings: fresh berries, medium shredded coconut, sliced blanched almonds

*Bolded ingredients are products we typically carry at Tare Bulk Foods.

Directions

  1. In a jar or bowl, whisk together the chia seeds, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla. Stir well to prevent clumping.
  2. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  3. For the berry sauce, heat the berries in a small saucepan over medium heat for 5 minutes, mashing with a fork as they soften. Stir in the honey and let cool.
  4. When ready to serve, stir the chia pudding well. Layer with the berry sauce in a glass or bowl.
  5. Top with fresh berries, shredded coconut, and sliced almonds.

Notes

  • The berry sauce can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to a week.
  • Swap the berries for mango and medium shredded coconut for a tropical version.
