Whole Seed Chia Pudding

Blended Smooth Chia Pudding

Step 2

Place the gelled pudding in a blender and blend on high for 1 to 2 minutes or until completely smooth.

Chocolate

Step 3

Add ¼ cup cacao powder to the pudding base. You can add this later in the blended/smooth version if you choose.

Strawberry

Step 4

Add ¼ cup of fresh strawberries to the blended/smooth version. Or, for the whole chia seed version, try blending fresh strawberries into a juice and use as part of the liquid. (any fruit should not be done in week 1)

Chai

Step 5

Add 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon and a pinch each of cardamom and cloves.

Nut Butter

Step 6

Add 2 tablespoons each of natural peanut or almond butter and blend with base pudding ingredients for a blended/smooth version. For the whole chia seed version, blend nut butter into milk before mixing in the seeds.
