- 3 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk or almond milk
- 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp Sri Lankan cinnamon powder
- A pinch of salt
Fruit Compote Topping:
- 1/4 cup mixed berries fresh or frozen or diced apple
- 1/4 tsp Sri Lankan cinnamon powder
- 1/2 tsp lemon juice
- 1 to 2 tbsp water
Toppings:
- 1 tbsp crushed nuts, almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds
- 1 tsp shredded coconut
In a jar, combine chia seeds, coconut milk, pure vanilla extract, cinnamon powder, and salt. Stir thoroughly and let it sit for five minutes. Stir again, then cover and refrigerate for at least two hours or overnight.
In a small saucepan, add the berries (or apple), cinnamon powder, lemon juice, and water. Cook over medium heat until the fruit softens and thickens, for about two minutes.
Pour the chia pudding into a serving bowl and top with the fruit compote. Garnish with crushed nuts, pumpkin seeds, and shredded coconut.
- For a thicker pudding, add a little more chia seeds and let it sit longer.
You can swap the fruit compote for any fruit you like, such as pears, peaches, or mangoes.
- For a sweeter option, add a little maple syrup or pure honey to the chia pudding or fruit compote.
- This pudding is a great meal prep option; it lasts up to three days in the fridge.
- The fiber in chia seeds and the cinnamon helps stabilize blood sugar levels, making this dish ideal for sustained energy and balanced blood sugar.
