Healthy Breakfast Rich in Protein

Ingredients:

 

1/4 cup chia seeds

1 cup almond milk (unsweetened)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)

Fresh fruits for topping (such as sliced strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, or mango)

Optional garnishes: shredded coconut, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of honey

 

 

Instructions:

 

Mix Chia Seeds with Almond Milk:

 

In a mixing bowl, combine chia seeds and almond milk. Stir well to prevent clumping. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes, then stir again to break up any clumps. This ensures that the chia seeds are evenly distributed.

 

Add Vanilla Extract:

Stir in the pure vanilla extract. Vanilla adds a wonderful aroma and enhances the overall flavor of the pudding. Mix thoroughly to incorporate the vanilla.

 

Sweeten to Taste (Optional):

If you prefer your chia pudding sweeter, add honey or maple syrup to the mixture. Start with 1 tablespoon and adjust according to your taste preferences. Stir well to combine the sweetness evenly.

 

Chill in the Refrigerator:

Cover the bowl and refrigerate the chia seed mixture for at least 2-3 hours or overnight. During this time, the chia seeds will absorb the almond milk and thicken, creating a pudding-like consistency.

 

Assemble the Chia Seed Pudding:

Once the chia pudding has reached your desired thickness, give it a good stir. Divide the pudding into serving glasses or bowls.

 

Top with Fresh Fruit:

Arrange your choice of fresh fruits on top of the chia seed pudding. Get creative with colorful combinations – strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, and mango slices work beautifully. The fresh fruit adds a burst of flavor and texture to each bite.

 

Optional Garnishes:

For an extra touch, garnish your chia seed pudding with shredded coconut, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of honey. These toppings add crunch and a hint of sweetness, enhancing the overall experience.
