Vanilla Orange Chia Pudding

FILLING, HEARTY, MILDLY SWEET AND CITRUSY, THIS VANILLA ORANGE CHIA PUDDING IS MY FAVORITE GO-TO BREAKFAST.

Ingredients
  

Chia pudding ingredients

  • 3 oz almond milk
  • 4 oz water
  • grated zest from 1/2 orange
  • pinch salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 oz chia

Additional ingredients

  • your choice of fruit (I love bananas and raspberries)
  • extra protein like nuts, seeds, coconut yogurt, etc.

Instructions
 

  • First, combine chia pudding ingredients in the order shown (chia last) in a ball jar. This step is crucial, don't try to mix it in a bowl instead. You really need a ball jar to shake the ingredients together.
  • Next, wait 2 minutes, and shake again. Do not leave your chia pudding! It will develop lumps, just by sitting there. Seriously, set the timer.
  • Wait 1-2 more minutes, shake again. At this point, the chia seeds should be equally dispersed in the liquid mixture. If not, wait one more minute and shake again.
  • Lastly, refrigerate overnight.
  • In the morning, add your favorite fruit and additional protein you desire. Enjoy!
