Chia seeds are soaked in almond milk overnight, creating a delicious
tapioca-like pudding that’s packed with nutrients and perfect for
breakfast! Layer the pudding with granola and fresh fruit for a chia
pudding parfait! This post is sponsored by Blue Diamond Almond Breeze

They had chia pudding parfaits on the menu, and even though we went
at lunchtime, I had to try it. It was love at first bite. I hadn’t tried
chia pudding sooner because I’m not too crazy about the texture of
those liquidy chia drinks. But this restaurant made the parfaits sound
so delicious that I had to try one. And the chia pudding was completely
different than the drinks. It’s like tapioca or rice pudding, but even
better, since I know how much nutritious goodness is packed into it.
I spent the rest of our vacation thinking about the chia pudding, and as soon as we got home I was on a mission to recreate it. It took a couple batches to perfect it, but this banana almond version is just delish. We’ve been eating it nonstop! You can eat it warm, cold, straight up, or our favorite– in parfait form with layers of crunchy granola, fresh fruit and a drizzle of honey. The perfect flavor and texture combination.
The chia pudding is really easy to make. I mashed up a banana in a jar, then added Blue Diamond Unsweetened Almond Breeze Almondmilk, some honey, coconut flakes, and of course the chia seeds. Give it a good shake to mix everything together and let it sit overnight in the fridge. In the morning, it’s ready to eat! And you can even make it a few days ahead of time. You could leave out the coconut flakes, or swap maple syrup for the honey. The flavor combinations are endless, but the result is a super healthy and delish breakfast idea! It’s a great alternative to yogurt if you can’t have dairy, or if you just want to mix up your usual breakfast routine.
Oh man, there’s a new breakfast
obsession in our household. It seems a little odd at first, but boy is
it delicious. Chia seed pudding! Have you heard of it? I’d seen chia
pudding on the interwebs, and been a little intrigued, but I hadn’t
actually tried it until we stumbled upon the most delicious little
natural whole foods restaurant in Phoenix. Totally right up my alley.
