Ingredients
- 1 Medjool date, pit removed (for a sweeter pudding, add an extra date)
- 1 cup non-dairy milk, such as organic soy, almond, or coconut beverage
- 1 handful fresh spinach
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- Optional Toppings: Fresh fruit like banana, kiwi, mango, berries, etc.
Directions
- Blend the Base: Start by blending the Medjool date, non-dairy milk, and fresh spinach in a high-speed blender until the mixture is very smooth. This forms the creamy base for your chia pudding and infuses it with a subtle sweetness and a boost of nutrients.
- Mix with Chia Seeds: Pour the blended liquid over the chia seeds in a medium bowl. Stir the mixture well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed. Continue stirring every few minutes for about 15 minutes to prevent the seeds from clumping together.
- Chill and Set: Once the mixture is well combined, place it in the refrigerator. Allow it to chill for at least one hour, or overnight if you prefer a thicker consistency. The chia seeds will absorb the liquid, creating a pudding-like texture.
- Top and Serve: Before serving, give the pudding a final stir to ensure a smooth consistency. Top with your favorite fresh fruits for added flavor and texture. Enjoy your nutritious and satisfying breakfast!
