These small swaps let you tailor the recipe to your taste and dietary needs.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Making this pudding is as simple as blending and chilling:
- Blend the peaches and milk: Add peeled and pitted peaches along with coconut milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and sweetener to a blender. Blend until smooth.
- Mix in chia seeds: Pour the peach mixture into a glass or bowl, stir in the chia seeds, and make sure everything is evenly combined.
- Refrigerate: Let the pudding sit in the fridge for at least an hour, or overnight for the best texture. Stir after 10 minutes to prevent clumping.
- Serve: Add your favorite toppings such as yogurt, extra peach slices, or a sprinkle of bee pollen. Dig in and enjoy a creamy, fruit-filled delight.
The pudding thickens as it chills, giving it that classic chia texture that’s both satisfying and refreshing.
Tips for the Perfect Chia Pudding
- Stir early: Mixing again after the first 10 minutes helps prevent chia seeds from forming lumps.
- Choose ripe peaches: The flavor of the pudding depends on juicy, sweet peaches.
- Adjust sweetness: Depending on the ripeness of your peaches, you may want to add more or less sweetener.
- Make ahead: You can prepare this pudding the night before for a grab-and-go breakfast.
