Overnight Pink Chia Pudding

I don't know about you, but I had my fair struggles with chia puddings, meaning I wasn't a big fan of the texture and taste, but great things take time. And that's exactly what happened with me and chia puddings. I tried many times and I failed many times, but, hey, that's how you learn. Now, I love me some chia pudding on the weekends or just on a casual weekday.

The ingredients you'll need for this Pink Chia Pudding are:

-chia seeds( news flash)

-plant milk

-frozen raspberries.

---

directions:

- 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.

- pour about 250ml of plant milk into the jar.

- next step is stirring-you should stir for about 10-15 minutes, evenly distributing the chia seeds around the liquid. 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.

-right about now, you can add a handful of frozen raspberries + 1 tbsp of maple syrup or other sweetener (if you have a sweet tooth) and keep stirring

-you will see that the raspberries will release their vibrant pink color. Then, pop the lid on the jar and store it in the fridge until the next morning.

Now comes the morning when you want to enjoy your Chia Pudding. My go-to topping and my always first choice is a banana that I slice into thin circles, then I always load up on all the seeds- ground flax seeds, buckwheat seeds, pumpkin seeds, if I have on hand, coconut chips and the grand finale- nut butter( peanut butter, almond butter,...).*

*here I had on hand some plant-based coconut yogurt, so I added 1 tbsp of that into the mixture.

This breakfast is also really easy to take with you on-the-go, simply because you can add all of your favorite toppings into your jar/container and take all of that with you to work/school/wherever.
