Description
Key Lime Chia Pudding is a refreshing, tangy, and creamy make-ahead dish made with chia seeds, lime juice, and your favorite milk. It’s naturally gluten-free, dairy-free, and nutrient-dense—perfect for breakfast, snack, or a light dessert.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 2–3 tbsp fresh key lime juice (or regular lime juice)
- 1 tsp lime zest
- 2–3 tbsp maple syrup or honey (or low-carb sweetener)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Optional toppings: coconut flakes, crushed graham crackers, lime slices, yogurt, or whipped coconut cream
Instructions
In a bowl or jar, whisk together chia seeds, almond milk, lime juice, zest, sweetener, vanilla, and a pinch of salt.
- Stir well and let sit for 5 minutes. Stir again to break up clumps.
- Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight until thickened.
- Stir before serving and adjust sweetness or lime flavor as needed.
- Spoon into bowls or jars and top with garnishes of choice.
Notes
- For a creamier version, use canned coconut milk.
- Blend before chilling for a smooth, mousse-like texture instead of seedy.
- If the pudding is too thick, stir in a splash of milk before serving.
- Overnight chilling enhances both flavor and texture.
