Chia pudding “Balance and vitality”
Chia pudding is one of the easiest and most nutritious breakfasts or snacks you can make at home. As you can see in the picture, you have managed to get the perfect creamy consistency for your spoon – thanks to the right ratio of chia seeds to liquid and the patience to let the mixture stand long enough.
This pudding is not only beautiful to look at, but also full of fiber, omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants, making it perfect for promoting digestion and keeping energy levels steady throughout the day.
Ingredients:
Base – Chia seeds
3 tablespoons chia seeds (preferably organic)
Liquid
200 ml of your choice of liquid: almond milk, oat milk or skimmed milk
Seasonings – for sweetness and freshness
A dash of vanilla or honey
Grated lemon or orange peel for extra freshness
Preparation:
1. Mix the chia pudding:
Take a glass or jar with a lid.
Mix well with a spoon so that all the seeds are covered.
Let stand for 5 minutes and mix again so that the seeds do not sink to the bottom. This step is crucial to achieve a smooth creamy consistency, just like in your picture.
3. Cool in the refrigerator:
Close the jar or glass and place in the refrigerator.
Let the chia pudding sit for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, so that the seeds form a gelatinous layer that gives the pudding its characteristic texture.
4. Serving and decoration:
Remove the chia pudding and stir gently.
Serve straight from the jar or in a small bowl.
You can add fresh berries such as raspberries or blueberries on top for extra antioxidants and color, inspired by your previous trifle recipe "Snowflakes".
Tips for the perfect chia pudding:
Quantities: 3 tablespoons of chia seeds to 200 ml of liquid gives a moderately creamy consistency. If you prefer a looser pudding, add a little more liquid.
Flavor: Vanilla, cinnamon or cardamom are great. Lemon zest adds freshness and balances the sweetness.
Additional nutrients: Add a tablespoon of nuts, coconut flakes or seeds for extra crunch and protein.
Storage: Chia pudding will keep for 2-3 days in the fridge, but is always best fresh.
Option: Change the fruit according to the season – mango, kiwi or raspberry add colour and flavour.
This chia pudding “Balance and Vitality” is not only a healthy choice, but also a beautiful breakfast or dessert that you can prepare in 5 minutes the night before. The result is a creamy, evenly distributed pudding with a mild sweetness, just like in your picture.
Pour in the chia seeds and liquid.
