Description
This creamy peanut butter chia pudding is smooth, delicious, and packed with protein and fiber. Perfect for an easy make-ahead breakfast or a healthy snack to fuel your day.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 3 Tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 Tablespoon maple syrup or honey
- 2 Tablespoons peanut butter
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla
- Toppings: extra peanut butter, cacao nibs and berries
Instructions
Mix the Pudding
Pour the almond milk into a medium bowl and add the chia seeds, maple syrup, peanut butter, and vanilla. Give everything a good whisk until it looks smooth. Peanut butter can be stubborn, so keep whisking until it blends in completely.
Chill and Thicken
Let the mixture rest for five minutes to allow the chia seeds to start thickening, then whisk again to break up any clumps. Cover and chill in the fridge for at least thirty minutes or leave it overnight for a thicker pudding.
Serve
When you are ready to dig in, top with whatever you like. A drizzle of peanut butter, a sprinkle of cacao nibs, and fresh berries are always great choices, but banana slices taste amazing too.
Notes
- If you don’t like the texture of chia seeds, consider grinding them first, but measure the amount before grinding.
- Any milk works, so use your preferred option.
- Swap the peanut butter for two tablespoons of powdered peanut butter to reduce fat and calories.
- Use any liquid sweetener you prefer, such as agave syrup or coconut nectar.
- Store chia pudding in airtight jars in the fridge for up to three days.
