Jewel Box Chia Pudding
Jewel Box Chia Pudding serves: 3 (2/3 cup or 160 ml pudding plus 2 Tbsp goji berries per serving)
Prep Time: 5 minutes | Rest Time: 30 minutes | Total Time: 35 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (120 g) chia seeds
- 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) unsweetened plain fortified nondairy milk of choice (almond, hemp, rice, etc.)
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon matcha green tea powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 6 tablespoons (34 g) goji berries
Instructions:
- Read through recipe and put all ingredients in your work area before starting your prep.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together chia seeds, nondairy milk, maple syrup and vanilla extract. Stir vigorously to break up any clumps.
- Cover loosely with a clean kitchen towel and let sit for 30 min at room temperature, stirring every 10 min or so, until significantly thickened.
- Divide pudding equally between two bowls. Whisk matcha into one, stirring thoroughly to incorporate. Whisk turmeric, ginger and cardamom into the other, mixing again to fully integrate the spices.
- Spoon the matcha chia pudding first into three glass jars or dishes, followed by the turmeric chia pudding. Top each with 2 Tbsp goji berries. Enjoy immediately or chill for 1–2 hr to enjoy cold.
Notes:
Storage tip: Store chia pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days; keep goji berries separate until ready to serve.
Simplify this recipe: Use vanilla almond milk instead of plain and omit the maple syrup and vanilla extract.
Other recipe notes: Additional maple syrup can be drizzled on top, to taste, for a sweeter dessert.
Make it nut-free: Choose hemp, rice, oat or soy milk instead of almond milk.
Make it nightshade-free Use fresh pomegranate arils instead of goji berries.
