Banana chia pudding [Recipe]

Dairy-Free | Cook Time: 2.5 Hours

Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any dairy-free milk of your choice)
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional toppings: Fresh berries, chocolate, sliced bananas, peanut butter, or oats

Directions

  • In a blender or food processor, combine the ripe bananas, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  • Pour the banana mixture into a bowl or jar.
  • Add the chia seeds to the bowl and stir well to combine. Make sure the chia seeds are evenly distributed and not clumped together.
  • Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent the chia seeds from settling at the bottom.
  • Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken the pudding.
  • Once the chia pudding has reached your desired consistency, stir.
  • Serve the banana chia pudding chilled, either on its own or topped with fresh berries, sliced bananas, nuts, or coconut flakes.
