Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 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 for a creamy base.
- Mix with Chia Seeds: Pour the peach mixture into a bowl or jar and stir in the chia seeds thoroughly so they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Refrigerate: Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and create a thick, pudding-like texture.
- Serve: Stir the pudding well before serving. Top with sliced almonds or granola and garnish with fresh peach slices to add crunch and freshness.
Notes
- The pudding can be made up to 2 days in advance for convenience.
- Use any type of milk (dairy or plant-based) depending on dietary preference.
- Maple syrup can be substituted with honey or agave syrup.
- For a smoother texture, blend chia seeds with the peach mixture before refrigerating, or soak them separately.
- Adjust sweetness according to taste.
