Sweet Treats

Honey Lemon Chia Pudding

November 20, 2014 Sweet Treats
Honey Lemon Chia Pudding

Chia pudding is a quick, easy, and delicious treat to whip up. If you have ever added chia seeds to a smoothie, you know that they sometimes stick to the sides of the pitcher. This is because, when wet, they form a gelatinous coating. For chia pudding, we use this to our advantage. The chia seeds do all the work. All you need are chia seeds and a liquid to make a pudding-like consistency.

As always, I like to use non-dairy milk when I can. Almond milk works perfectly for this recipe, but you can also use coconut milk or a combination of the two. I also love the combo of honey and lemon zest. I am a big fan of Meyer lemons. They have a more concentrated lemon taste and their skin and zest is super yellow. I love seeing the lemon yellow specks in my chia pudding.

This recipe makes about 4 full ramekins of chia pudding and they will keep well in the fridge for up to 5 days. This recipe is designed to serve as a base for whatever you are craving at the time. It can be used as a dessert, breakfast, or snack, and it can be dressed up with a variety of accompaniments. Adding fresh or dry fruit, nuts, seeds, or shredded coconut, can make an amazing dish. However, I can eat this chia pudding as is, right out of the fridge.  It is a healthy alternative when you are craving a sweet treat.  Enjoy!
