Peaches and Cream Chia Pudding

CHI CHI CHIA! 

Yes! This is indeed the seed that sprouted in the infamous chia pets. 
Then they discoverd that chia is actually a superfood! It's rich in omega-3 and 6 fatty acids, protein, fibre, iron, calcium, magnesium and tons of other vitamins and minerals! 
The concept of chia pudding was introduced to me by the amazing Gena at Choosing Raw. 
You can see her original recipe here.

I veg-marenated (HA!)  Gena's pudding and made it more fresh and summery by adding fresh peach puree to the mix! 



YOU NEED: 



A Peach
1/2 cup chia seeds
1 cup almond milk
Vanilla extract (not optional)
Agave nectar (optional)







DO THIS:


Blend almond milk with peach, vanilla and agave.
Pour mixture onto chia seeds.
Let it sit for 30mins-1hr, stirring occasionally.

At first it will be really watery, but gradually the seeds will plump up.









You can keep this in the fridge overnight if you want, or just eat it with your fingers right out of the bowl. Whatever.


This works really well for breakfast, or as a snack. It's especially awesome for when you don't want to turn the oven on. Here I sprinkled a little pumpkin pie spice and extra agave. 



 YUM!

  1. Shane made this for breakfast, left the peaches lumpy instead of pureeing them. You are right - yum!
