Description
Kiwi Chia Pudding is a refreshing, nutritious dessert or breakfast, combining creamy chia pudding with the tropical sweetness of kiwi. Packed with fiber, healthy fats, and vitamin C, it’s a vegan, gluten-free treat.
Ingredients
- 2 kiwis, peeled and chopped
1/2 cup chia seeds
1 cup coconut milk (or any milk of choice)
1 tbsp maple syrup or honey (optional, for sweetness)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Fresh mint leaves, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the Chia Pudding: In a bowl or jar, combine the chia seeds, coconut milk, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract. Stir well to combine. Cover and refrigerate the mixture for at least 4 hours or overnight. Stir once or twice during the first hour to prevent clumping.
- Prepare the Kiwi: Peel and chop the kiwis into small pieces. You can mash them lightly with a fork or leave them as chunks, depending on your preference.
- Assemble the Pudding: After the chia pudding has set, spoon it into serving bowls or glasses. Top each with a generous portion of chopped kiwi.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired, and serve immediately, or store in the fridge for up to 2-3 days.
Notes
- For added richness, swirl in a spoonful of almond butter or peanut butter into the chia pudding before serving.
- Feel free to add granola, shredded coconut, or chopped nuts as crunchy toppings.
- If you prefer a sweeter pudding, increase the amount of maple syrup or honey. You can also use sugar-free sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit.
- This pudding can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
