Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: Paleo
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1/2 cup grated carrots
- 1 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond milk, chia seeds, grated carrots, turmeric powder, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and pinch of salt. Whisk the ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution of spices and sweetener.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture to a sealed container. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the chia seeds to fully absorb the liquid and create a pudding-like consistency.
- Before serving, give the pudding a good stir to redistribute the carrots and break up any potential clumps of chia seeds. The mixture should have a thick, creamy texture.
- Optional: Garnish with additional grated carrots, a sprinkle of turmeric, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of extra honey for added flavor and texture.
- Serve chilled directly from the refrigerator. The pudding can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
Tips
- Customize Your Sweetness: Feel free to adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more or less honey or maple syrup. You can also experiment with other natural sweeteners like agave or stevia.
- Chill for Best Results: For the best texture, allow the pudding to chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight. This ensures the chia seeds absorb the almond milk fully, creating a deliciously thick consistency.
- Mix It Up: Don’t hesitate to add your favorite toppings! Fresh fruits, nuts, or seeds not only enhance the flavor but also add a delightful crunch to your pudding.
- Storage Tips: This pudding can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. Make a batch at the beginning of the week for quick and healthy breakfasts!
- Experiment with Spices: While turmeric is the star of this recipe, feel free to add other spices like cinnamon or ginger for an extra flavor boost and health benefits.
