Whole30 Chia Pudding
This Whole30 Chia Pudding couldn’t be easier – and it’s so delicious!
A few weeks ago, my sister in law told me about how she’s been making chia pudding every morning for breakfast, and I realized this post could use an update! The best part about our conversation though, was realizing that she essentially makes her own milk by using this recipe. Now that milk of all kinds can be hard to find at the grocery store, this is such an easy game changer! Since I have a mild intolerance to cashews and I didn’t have any hemp seeds on hand, I switched it up and used almonds and oats, and it worked GREAT.
The best part is that this is the perfect quarantine breakfast to make each week because it’s super nutritious, easy, and once you have all of the ingredients in your kitchen – it’s REALLY affordable! Plus, you can customize it with what you have on hand or what you’re in the mood for! I’ve been on a mango kick recently, but you could use berries, cherries, or any other fruit you like – both on top or mixed in. And it’s a great way to take advantage of frozen berries, instead of worrying if fresh berries will go bad. A quarantine win!

This looks wonderful! Did you melt the almond butter to drizzle on top? I tried this once and ended up burning it, haha. Any tips?

Hey Lacee, I didn't melt it at all! I got Trader Joe's Almond Butter that literally only has raw almonds in it… that's it! I think that's why it's runnier than other nut butters you might have tried. If you don't have a TJ's near you, just look for one with only almonds and it will probably have a similar consistency!
