Ingredients
Scale
- ¼ cup chia seeds
- 1 cup almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup granola (homemade or store-bought)
- 2 ripe kiwis, peeled and sliced
- Optional toppings: coconut flakes, nuts, cinnamon
Instructions
- In a medium bowl or mason jar, combine the chia seeds, almond milk, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Whisk vigorously for 1-2 minutes to prevent clumping.
- Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. Stir once after 2 hours to ensure even thickening.
- Once the chia pudding has set, layer it in a clear glass or jar starting with a spoonful of pudding, followed by granola, and kiwi slices. Repeat until the glass is nearly full.
- Garnish the top with additional kiwi slices, granola, and optional toppings like coconut flakes or nuts. Drizzle with more honey or maple syrup if desired before serving.
Notes
- Use a blender for the first minute when mixing chia seeds for smoother consistency.
- If pudding seems too thick, stir in 1-2 tablespoons of additional milk to reach desired texture.
- For optimal crunch, store granola separately and assemble just before eating.
- Frozen kiwi can be used but pat dry before adding to prevent excess moisture.
- Experiment with variations like coconut milk and mango for a tropical twist or cocoa powder for chocolate chia pudding.
