Instructions
CHIA PUDDING BASE – Method

1. In a bowl or glass jar, add the chia seeds, almond milk, vanilla
   and optional low-carb sweetener and stir well. If using a mason jar,
   add the lid and shake to combine.
2. Let it sit for about 10 minutes, then stir / shake/ massage to
   break up any chia clumps, cover and place in the fridge to thicken for 1
   – 2 hours or overnight.
3. Before serving, stir though the yoghurt or coconut yoghurt and
   adjust with more almond milk if you prefer your chia puddings a little
   thinner.

OPTIONAL TOPPINGS – Method
CHOCOLATE

1. Melt 2 squares of dark chocolate in a bain marie. Grate the remaining square.
2. Mix the cacao powder, pinch of salt, almond butter, sugar free syrup and additional milk into the chia pudding.
3. Spoon the chocolate chia pudding mix into your glass jars and
   top with a drizzle of melted dark chocolate and a sprinkle of grated
   chocolate.

BERRYLICIOUS

1. Blitz 1 cup of raspberries, blueberries or blackberries in a blender until slightly mushy.
2. Add a layer of chia pudding to 4 glasses or jars followed by a
   layer of berry and 1/2 tbsp of coconut flakes. Repeat with a layer of
   chia pudding and finish with another layer of berry and coconut

ALMOND BUTTER

1. Add a layer of chia pudding to each of the 4 glasses followed by 1/2 of the almond butter and 1/2 of the chopped nuts.
2. Repeat with a layer of chia pudding and finish with the other half of almond butter and chopped nuts.

For a looser pudding, add an additional 1/4 cup / 60 ml of almond milk after soaking.

– I like the creamy pudding texture best using my method above.
However, if you’re short on time, you can also throw all ingredients
together at the same time and deal with any clumps by stirring
vigorously before serving.
