Cinnamon Chia Pudding

The first time I tried chia pudding I though it was quite nice. I liked it because it was not too sweet and quite filling, and in a busy day it's a perfect breakfast, snack or desert.

I used to buy them from the supermarket, or the coffee shop, until I realised how easy and cheaper it actually is to make them at home. All needed is really some chia seeds and milk, and from there you have endless options.

Personally, I prefer chia puddings for breakfast or snack. Together with a delicious cappuccino or latte it gives me the perfect energy boost in the beginning of my day or in the afternoon when all I want is a nap after lunch.

So let's start with a super easy intro recipe to chia puddings. This one will make you a full cup, which for me is a bit too much, so I divide it in two, one for breakfast and one for afternoon tea. I also tend to add different fruit or just leave one of the portions as is.

Time: 5 min (+ fridge set) | Servings: 1 large or 2 small cup

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of low fat or plant based milk (almond, hemp, soy)
• 4 tbsp chia seeds
• 1 tsp cinnamon (or cinnamon sugar for a sweeter result)
• 1 tsp honey (or alternative sweetener such as malt syrup)
• 1/2 banana (optional)
• 1 golden pear (optional)
• 30 gr walnuts (optional)

Instructions:

1. Pour the milk into a glass or jar and add the chia seeds.
2. Add the cinnamon and honey while stirring the mixture with a spoon.
3. Cover the glass with aluminium foil (or the jar with its lid) and put in the fridge.
4. Stir the mixture again in 1 hour and put back in the fridge.
5. Let the pudding set overnight ready for consumption in the morning.
6. Add all fruits and nut, or some of them, or eat as is.

Enjoy!
