Overnight Chia Pudding

Here we are again with another amazing breakfast recipe for you to try!

Today, on the menu, we have a simple, yet amazing Overnight Chia Pudding. I'm gonna take you through every step and show you how I prepare my home Chia Pudding. You'll see just how incredibly easy and simple it is to prepare!

The interesting thing about this breakfast is that you mainly prepare the base, which is the chia pudding and then, when that's ready, you have the freedom to be creative and decorate it however you want. Topping are a personal preference, because everyone fancies different flavors.

The key ingredients are chia seeds (DUH.) and plant-based milk.

Nutritious fact: chia seeds are low in calories, but high in many nutrients, like fiber, fats, magnesium, protein, calcium and vitamin B. Naturally, they contain Omega-3 fats, reduce blood sugar levels and are loaded with antioxidants.

1. Firstly, pour 3 tablespoons of chia seeds into your jar/ container. This is an overnight recipe, meaning that I usually prepare this in a jar before I go to bed, I leave it in the fridge and the next morning I have a chia pudding to enjoy.

2. Then, pour about 200ml of plant milk into the jar.

3. The next step is stirring-you should stir for about 10-15 minutes, evenly distributing the chia seeds. You can stop stirring when you see that the chia seeds are starting to gel and the whole mixture is starting to have a gel-like consistency.

4. You can add an additional tablespoon of maple/ agave syrup or honey if you have a sweet tooth. I usually don't put any sweetener if I'm using a store-bought Organic Soy Calcium Fortified Milk, but if I make it with homemade milk, I usually sweeten it.

5. Place your jar/ container in the fridge and let it sit overnight. In the morning, you'll have yourself a chia pudding ready to be eaten.

There are endless varieties that you can choose and lots of different toppings, so I'm gonna share you my go-to combination when I make this delicious Chia Pudding.

My go-to toppings are:

• banana coins;

• frozen raspberries/ homemade raspberry chia jam (recipe coming soon...);

• flax seeds, pumpkin seeds, dried goji berries & coconut chips;

• homemade almond or peanut butter( recipes coming soon...);

• whole bunch of cinnamon.

You can also take this breakfast with you on-the-go. It's really simple- you'll just need to add your toppings directly into your jar/ container, take a spoon with you and you're good to go.
