Creamsicle Chia Pudding
Do you love creamsicles? This 5-minute plant-based chia pudding will have you second-guessing what you’re eating - it’s bursting with the sweet orange and vanilla flavours of the classic creamsicle while giving you a protein and fibre boost to help you feel full for longer. We really can’t say enough good things about chia seeds - they are loaded with soluble fibre which helps keep your blood sugar stable, gives lasting energy, and help you go to the bathroom too.
Recipe makes 2 meal-sized servings or 4 snack-sized servings.
Ingredients:
· 1 cup Original or Vanilla Soy Milk
· 3 tablespoons of chia seeds (black or white)
· ½ teaspoon of orange zest
· Juice from half the orange (save the other half to cut into segments)
· 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
· 1 tsp pure maple syrup
Top with orange segments and sunflower seeds or almond slices (optional)
Directions:
In a medium bowl, combine milk and chia seeds.
Whisk mixture well (at least 2 minutes), making sure to break up chia clumps. Add vanilla, maple syrup, orange zest and orange juice and whisk for about another minute.
Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 3 hours. You may want to give it another stir about an hour into cooling to help ensure an even consistency.
When ready to serve, add toppings and enjoy!
Tip: Instead of a bowl, make your chia pudding into individual mason jars so they will be ready to go when you’re on the run.
