Chai Spiced Chia Pudding
Recipe: (Serves 1 as a hearty breakfast, or 2 as part of a meal) Print it Here
3 tablespoon Chia seeds
1 Cup Unsweetened almond milk
2 teaspoon Maple syrup or sweetener of choice (optional)
½ teaspoon Cinnamon
¼ teaspoon Ground ginger
⅛ - ¼ teaspoon Ground cardamon
1 teaspoon vanilla
pinch of ground cloves
Procedure:
Mix all ingredients together. Be sure to mix the chia into the milk thoroughly, otherwise you will end up with a chunky pudding. Let sit for 1 hour or in the refrigerator overnight.
After chia has sat and soaked up all the liquid, spoon ½ the mixture into a bowl. Layer ½ the pomegranate sauce (recipe below) over the chia pudding and top with the rest of the pudding mixture. Spoon the remaining sauce on top.
Pink Peppercorn and Pomegranate Sauce
Recipe:
½ Cup Pomegranate seeds
½ Cup Raspberries, fresh or thawed
½ teaspoon Pink peppercorns, crushed
Zest of ½ a orange
Procedure:
Mix all the ingredients together.
The seeds of pomegranates are totally edible, but I know some people aren't crazy for the texture. I personally enjoy to chew and eat the whole seed.
This sounds delicious but are you supposed to actually chew the pomegranate seed or spit them out?
Hello Nicole! Feel free to use any milk alternative - soy, hemp, oat, rice, etc. If you drink dairy, you may even want to try cow or goat 🙂
Would I be able to use an alternative to almond milk since I have an almond allergy?
Thanks a bunch and you're welcome for the recipe!
This looks amazingly delicious. Thanks for the recipe.
Hello Robyn,
So sorry to hear that you didn't like the pudding. The texture of chia pudding isn't for everyone, and I guess neither are the spices. If you want to try something less spiced, I recommend maybe just using a little cinnamon, or a dash of vanilla. Another option is to heat the almond milk and lightly steep some herb chai tea in it until it reaches a flavour you like, and use that for the base of the pudding. Best of luck with being vegan.
All the best,
Sophie <3
I made the pudding last night to have for breakfast this morning and it did not go well. I followed the recipe to the letter and it was very over-spiced. Not a recipe I would suggest. Or if you do want to try it, go much lighter on the spices that what is listed in the recipe.
Thanks for the link Vira! Pomegranates are so amazing 🙂
Yummy.I will Try For sure.Very nice info using pomegranate
Oh, thank you so much! Pomegranates are so pretty and fun to photograph!!! (and tasty!)
That is absolutely stunning! So much good texture going on. I'll have to try this next time I get my hands on some pomegranate 🙂
