Almond Milk Chia Pudding
This chia pudding with almond milk is vegan, and gluten-free, and really delicious. Top with almonds and berries or banana for a great breakfast or snack.
Ingredients
- 2 cups (480ml) unsweetened almond milk
- 1/3 cup (57g) firmly packed chopped pitted dates (see notes)
- 1 teaspoon (5ml) natural almond extract
- Pinch of Celtic sea salt
- 1/3 cup (53g) black chia seeds
- 1/3 cup (53g) sliced raw almonds, plus more for garnish
Instructions
-
Throw the almond milk, dates, almond extract, and salt into your blender and blast on high for 30 to 60 seconds until the dates are completely pulverized.
-
Transfer this mixture to a glass bowl or large jar and whisk in the chia seeds until well combined. Chill in the fridge for at least 3 hours stirring occasionally to evenly distribute the chia seeds.
-
Once chilled, stir the mixture very well again to evenly distribute the chia seeds, and then stir in the chopped almonds. Transfer the mixture to 2 serving glasses or bowls and top with chopped almonds.
Recipe Notes
For the best consistency with conventional blenders, soak the dates in warm water for 15 minutes to soften them. Drain, and use in the recipe.

How do I enter the give way?!

Would this work with coconut milk?
Yes. Chia pudding using coconut milk is delicious. You just may have to tweak the almond extract and almonds to get the flavour balance the way you want it.
So sorry Thea, this is an old post mentioning a promotion before my book was released. The pre-order offer is no longer valid, and that email has now been closed. But, thankyou for ordering the book! I hope you enjoy it.

Thankyou so much for your lovely words. I hope you are able to order the book and the app online. Enjoy.
My son is allergic to all nuts. Any substitutes for the almond milk, & extract?
You can absolutely make a delicious chia pudding with nut-free milk and add maple syrup and any flavoring you like. I love making banana pudding by adding bananas. Strawberry is also yummy.

Hello, how long will this Chia Pudding keep? I would like to make it and eat half today and half tomorrow. Also, is the maple essential, or could I use another sweetener?
You can absolutely keep this pudding in the fridge for a few days. I love maple syrup in this recipe. But, you can also use honey, coconut nectar etc.
Totally making this today with the addition of fresh cherries… I love almond and cherries together!!
Awesome. Love almonds and cherries, too. Deelish!
