Maple Banana-Berry Chia Pudding

Topped with tasty fruit, this protein packed pudding is a winner!

Prep Time: 10 minutes & 4+ hours to set
Serves: 2

Main Ingredients:
1 cup plant-based milk
3 tbsp chia seeds
1 large ripe banana
½ cup fresh berries
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla

Toppings:
½ cup fresh berries
½ banana, sliced
2 tbsp maple syrup
¼ cup chopped walnuts – if you don’t have or like walnuts, use what you have on hand

Method:
In a blender, or using a hand mixer/blender, combine milk, banana, cinnamon, and vanilla.

In a container, with a lid secure enough to shake, pour the banana-milk mixture over the chia seeds. Shake the container to combine; making sure that the seeds are immersed.

Chill in the refrigerator for 4- 6 hour or overnight. The mixture should be a thick consistency and be easy to spoon into single-serve dishes.

Top with chopped nuts, berries, banana slices, and a drizzle of maple syrup.

Tips & Variations:

• Use berries that you like, that are in season, and affordable
• This dessert is gluten free and can be nut-free by omitting the chopped walnuts and using oat, soy, or rice milk
• This pudding keeps for several days in a sealed container in the refrigerator
