Description

This refreshing Kiwi and Chia Seed Pudding is a nutritious and easy-to-make breakfast or snack option. Combining the nutritional power of chia seeds, the sweetness of fresh kiwi, and a creamy texture from Greek yogurt, this pudding is naturally sweetened with maple syrup and dairy-free almond or coconut milk. Perfect for a healthy start to your day or a wholesome treat any time!

Ingredients

Chia Pudding Base

  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond or coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon sweetener of your choice (we used maple syrup)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Toppings

  • 3 kiwis, peeled and diced
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chia pudding mixture: In a glass container or mason jar, combine the chia seeds, almond or coconut milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix well to ensure the chia seeds are fully immersed in the liquid.
  2. Chill the mixture: Place the container in the refrigerator for at least one hour, preferably overnight, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding-like consistency.
  3. Stir the pudding: After chilling, remove the pudding from the refrigerator and stir thoroughly to break up any clumps and achieve an even consistency.
  4. Assemble the parfaits: In two glass containers, layer the chia pudding first. Then, add a layer of Greek yogurt, if using. Finally, top each parfait with diced fresh kiwi for a vibrant, flavorful finish.
  5. Serve and enjoy: Enjoy your healthy kiwi and chia seed pudding immediately or keep it refrigerated for later consumption.

Notes

  • For a vegan or dairy-free version, omit the Greek yogurt or substitute with a plant-based yogurt.
  • If you prefer a sweeter pudding, adjust the amount of maple syrup or use your favorite sweetener.
  • Allowing the pudding to soak overnight enhances the texture, making it thicker and creamier.
  • Use fresh, ripe kiwis for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
  • This recipe can be easily doubled or tripled to serve more people.
