Who’s ready for a filling breakfast that’s ready in a matter of minutes? To be clear, it takes about five minutes or so to make, but it requires overnight refrigeration. We are, of course, talking about chia pudding. Made with chia seeds, ripe bananas, homemade almond milk, cinnamon, and alcohol-free vanilla extract, this chia pudding has a more pudding-like texture than tapioca. Typically, chia pudding has a similar texture to tapioca or rice pudding because the seeds absorb the liquid and turn into a gel, of sorts. The banana offers amazing sweetness and creamy texture.
If you find that you’re in a hurry most mornings, chia pudding is about to become your new favorite breakfast option. It takes roughly six hours to set into a pudding. That means it’s ready in the morning if you prepare it at night. For your chia pudding to have the best texture, make sure to mash the bananas. Lastly, finish the chia pudding within three days of making it. You can store it in an airtight container in the fridge when you aren’t enjoying it.
