Lemon Cream Chia Pudding
A refreshing and nutritious dessert combining chia seeds, Greek yogurt, and the bright flavor of lemon.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup almond milk or any milk of choice
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt optional for creaminess
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 whole lemon, zest
- 1 whole lemon, juice
- a pinch salt
Instructions
Preparation
- In a bowl, whisk together the almond milk, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), lemon zest, lemon juice, and salt until well combined.
- Stir in the chia seeds and mix thoroughly.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight, allowing the chia seeds to swell and the mixture to thicken.
- Once ready, give it a good stir and serve chilled.
Serving
- Serve this pudding chilled in individual bowls or glasses. Consider garnishing with fresh berries, slices of citrus fruit, or a sprinkle of nuts for added texture and flavor.
Storage
- Store any leftover Lemon Cream Chia Pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It should stay fresh for up to five days.
Notes
Ensure you whisk the mixture thoroughly to prevent the chia seeds from clumping together. For a sweeter pudding, adjust the honey or maple syrup to your taste. If you prefer a thicker texture, add more chia seeds or let it sit longer in the fridge.
