Chia see pudding is a creamy, pudding like dish that is often enjoyed for breakfast due to it’s ability to keep you fuller for longer.

How to make Banana, Date and Chia Seed Pudding

If you are familar with the concept of overnight oats then you are already halfway to understanding how to make chia pudding.

All you need to do is combine your chia seeds with a liquid, stir it together and leave overnight. In the morning you can top it with your choice of fruit, nuts and seeds. In this case we’ve topped ours with frozen cherries, toasted almonds and almond butter.

To make chia pudding super creamy we don’t just add milk, we make a smoothie of banana, dates and almond milk first. We then add this to the chia seeds and mix well. If we just used milk the pudding would be too thin. The banana makes it thicker and more unctuous. The dates are there to add sweetness.
