Guess what I’ve been whipping up in my kitchen? A little something that turned my mundane morning routine into a delightful escapade! I’m talking about a dreamy bowl of Mixed Berry and Almond Chia Pudding. It’s like a hug in a bowl, really!
What You’ll Need:
- Chia Seeds: 1/4 cup (these tiny wonders are the star of the show)
- Almond Milk: 2 cups, unsweetened (because we’re keeping it real and nutty)
- Sweetener of Choice: 2 tablespoons of maple syrup or honey (sweeten to your heart’s content)
- Vanilla Extract: Just a 1/2 teaspoon (but oh, what a difference it makes!)
- Berries, Berries, and More Berries: 1 cup of strawberries, blueberries, raspberries (frozen or fresh – both work like a charm)
- Sliced Almonds: For that oh-so-satisfying crunch
- Optional Extras: Cinnamon or lemon zest, if you’re feeling fancy!
Let’s Get Mixing:
- Grab a bowl and whisk your chia seeds with almond milk. Let it sit for a bit, then whisk again. This isn’t just mixing; it’s like you’re coaxing the pudding to life!
- Now, stir in your sweetener and vanilla extract. It’s amazing how these simple things bring such joy, isn’t it?
- Pour this delightful mixture into bowls or jars. Then, the hard part – let them sit in the fridge overnight. Trust me, it’s worth the wait.
- Morning has arrived! Top your gorgeous pudding with a riot of berries and a handful of almonds. Here’s where you can let your creativity run wild – a dash of cinnamon or a zest of lemon can make all the difference.
- Time to dig in! Whether it’s a bright weekday morning or a lazy Sunday, this pudding is like a burst of joy in a bowl.
Final Thoughts: There you have it, folks – my new favorite breakfast! It’s not just about the delicious blend of creamy chia, tangy berries, and crunchy almonds. It’s about starting your day with something made with love, something that brings a smile to your face. So, whip up a batch, take a spoonful, and let your day begin with a little bit of deliciousness!
