HOW TO MAKE CHIA PUDDING ‣‣ 6 Amazing Chia Pudding Recipes

Hi , everyone .

Welcome to my channel .

If you're new here , my name is Alyssa .

Today , I have got a video that is all about one of my favorite breakfast foods and that is chia pudding .

Today , we are going to be making chia pudding six different ways .

So essentially I'm just gonna show you how to make traditional chia pudding and then we're going to make it in six different flavor combinations .

I'm also excited to be bringing you today's video in partnership with my friends at I Herb .

If you are unfamiliar with what I Herb is , they are an online retailer that sells over 30,000 natural products , everything from pantry , staples to supplements beauty products and more .

And they also ship to 100 and 50 different countries , which is absolutely amazing .

So if you aren't in the US , you can still shop on I Herb and get natural products delivered right to your door .

So we are using a bunch of their different products in today's video , two types of chia seeds actually that you can find both on .

I are black and white and I'll share how we're incorporating those .

And I've also included all of the links for all of the products that I mentioned in today's video down in the description box below .

I've also included a full blog post tutorial that outlines every single recipe in today's video .

So if you want to learn more , make them anything like that , you can find that below as well .

I think without further ado , we should just go ahead and dive right into our .

So if you've never made chia pudding before , essentially , it just is chia seeds and some sort of liquid , stirring them together and then it turns into a gel and then you can add any flavors that you want .

So that is what we're gonna be doing here .

We're doing three tablespoons of chia per serving and three quarter cups of liquid per serving and then swapping things in and out for different flavor profiles .

So let's go ahead and dive into our recipes .

The first one is gonna be banana bread .

We're gonna start with half of the banana that we are going to mash in our bowl to that , you'll add your chia seeds and some cinnamon .

And for this , you can get the black chia seeds and the cinnamon on I herb and then top that with , with almond milk or whatever unsweetened milk you'd like give it a stir until everything is combined and let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes until it thickens up .

Once it's thickened up , you can give it a stir and if it's too thick , you can add a splash more of liquid if you need it .

And then we will assemble our chia pudding .

So we're gonna start by adding some chia pudding in the bottom .

Then I like to do a layer of banana .

Then I do the rest of the pudding , do another layer of banana , top it with some crushed up walnuts .

And these walnuts are actually raw walnuts that I get on .

I , they're a great price and they are the perfect addition to this one .

And that's the banana bread .

And what's great about this one is it doesn't use any extra sweetener .

Our second flavor is going to be lemon raspberry .

We are actually going to be using white chia seeds in this recipe just because I think it looks really pretty .

So we'll add our white chia seeds into the bowl , followed by some maple syrup and some lemon zest .

And of course your milk and for our ingredients in this one , you can get the white chia seeds and the maple syrup on our herb and then you'll stir that together until it's combined .

Set it aside , let it gel for about 10 to 15 minutes .

Once it's thickened up , it should look a little bit like this again .

If it's too thick , add a splash , more liquid if you'd like .

And then to start this , we are going to actually mash up some fresh raspberries into the bottom of our serving container , whatever you're using .

So it's about a quarter cup of mashed raspberries .

And then I like to do the layer of the lemon chia pudding and then to finish this recipe off , we will add on some more fresh raspberries and garnish it with some lemon zest and that just gives it a little bit of brightness .

And what I love about this one , it's really tart and tangy and it just kind of tastes like fresh and delicious .

Our third one is a vanilla coconut cashew .

We're gonna start with our black chia seeds .

Then we're gonna add some maple syrup .

We're also gonna add some vanilla extract and then we're gonna use some full fat coconut milk .

And here you can get all four of these ingredients on I herb .

Stir it together and let it sit for about 10 to 15 minutes until it thickens up nicely .

If you do want to reduce the calorie of this , you could just use like coconut milk instead of full fat coconut milk .

Once it's thickened , give it a quick stir and then you will place it into your jar and to top , I like to do some raw cashew butter again .

I get this on I herb .

It's the artisan brand .

I'll link it below and finish it off with some coconut flakes .

And this one is actually pretty basic , but it tastes so good .

You could totally add some fresh berries or something if you wanted some fresh fruit , but it is really , really , really delicious and really full of healthy fat .

So it's nice and filling .

Our fourth one is gonna be our chai spice chia pudding .

We're gonna start with black chia seeds as well as some coconut sugar .

And then the spices that we're using are cinnamon ginger cloves , cardamom and nutmeg .

And you'll just add that directly into the bowl and you'll finish it off with your milk of choice .

Again , you can get the spices , the coconut sugar and the chia seeds all on I herb .

And once it's all stored together , just like the other three that you've seen so far , just set it aside and let it gel and you actually can do this overnight .

If you want to make it the night before .

Once it has set , you can stir it together and it should be all nice and thick .

Then you'll just transfer that into your jars or your jar , whatever serving container you're using .

And then to finish it off , we're gonna do some raw almond butter , but you could use any of the nut butters that you can find on I herb .

They have a huge selection and then we're also gonna do some chopped up pecans and just to finish it off , make it look pretty a little stick of cinnamon .

And this actually the longer it sits , it infuses more in the chew pudding .

And I swear this tastes like a chai latte .

It is delicious .

And then our fifth recipe is going to be our dark chocolate chia pudding .

We're gonna add black chia seeds into our bowl top that with some rock cow powder as well as some maple syrup and our almond milk .

And again , you can get all of those dry ingredients on I herb .

Give it a quick stir .

This one you might want to use a whisk for just to get all of the cow powder balls or clumps , I guess , evenly incorporated into the mixture .

Once you have it evenly incorporated though , you can just again , set it aside and let it all gel and come together .

It should take about 10 or 15 minutes once it's gelled , give it a quick stir to make sure it's evenly combined and then we'll transfer it into our jars and for topping , I really like to do something creamy .

So I did a dollop or two of coconut yogurt and then I finish it off with something crunchy .

In this case , we're going to do chopped hazelnuts as well as some mini chocolate chips , but just check out the I herb grocery section and you can get a ton of different topping ideas there .

And this one's great because it tastes like dessert and who doesn't love chocolate for breakfast ?

Right ?

And our final recipe is going to be strawberry cheesecake .

We're gonna start with some white chia seeds in this recipe and then we're going to use some vanilla extract as well as some full fat coconut milk and some almond milk .

So this is a way to make it really creamy tasting , but still keep it on the lighter side .

Again , white chia seeds , vanilla and the coconut milk can all be found on I herb .

Give everything a quick stir .

Once it is combined , you can let it sit and it will thicken up really nicely .

And then for our serving purposes , we're gonna do a layer of the chia pudding .

And then we're actually gonna use this strawberry jam , which is made from 100% fruit .

You can get it on I herb .

It is so delicious .

I love this entire line of jam .

So the strawberry one is awesome , but also like all the flavors are delicious .

So check out their selection that they have .

You'll do a layer of that , then you'll do another layer of the chia pudding and then to finish it off , you are gonna use some fresh chopped strawberries and some chopped up almonds or some sort of nut .

And this one honestly , it tastes like a bite of strawberry cheesecake .

It is so so good .

You guys are gonna love it .
