Banana Cream Pie Chia Pudding
Dessert for breakfast… Have I got your attention? Read on, big (and little) kids! This banana cream pie chia pudding is everything you’re going to want!
So I am late to the party on this one but, in the spirit of full disclosure, I had my doubts that something resembling frogs eggs could be so delicious. Oh how wrong I was and on that note, I have joined the chia converts.
Chia seeds have been enjoying their time in the spotlight for the last 6 years or so due to their high protein content and abundance of essential vitamins. Cue chia pudding and chia flecked granola on my breakfast menu for the foreseeable future!
Chia pudding is ridiculously simple to make. For every cup of liquid mix through 3 tablespoons of chia seeds and allow to sit for a few hours for the best results.
I will be featuring 3 chia puddings this week inspired by my favourite classic desserts. All the recipes are dairy and refined sugar free! So, yeah- I pretty much just gave you the go ahead to have dessert for breakfast.
