Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cups (240 milliliters/8 fl oz) non-dairy milk
- 3 tbsps (45 milliliters/1.5 fl oz) chia seeds
- 1 Medjool date (pit removed)
- 1 handful fresh spinach
- 1 banana
- 1 kiwi
- 1 mango
- berries (as desired)
Instructions
- Blend Base: Pulverize Medjool date, non-dairy milk, and fresh spinach in a high-speed blender until achieving a seamless, emerald-green liquid with velvety consistency.
- Infuse Chia: Pour the verdant mixture into a medium bowl containing chia seeds, whisking vigorously to ensure complete integration and prevent seed clumping.
- Rest and Absorb: Allow the mixture to rest at room temperature for 15-20 minutes, intermittently stirring to guarantee uniform liquid absorption, then transfer to refrigerator for 60-90 minutes until achieving a luxurious, pudding-like texture.
- Garnish and Serve: Gently fold the chilled pudding to restore its smooth profile, then artfully arrange an array of seasonal fruits like berries, sliced banana, or diced mango atop the surface, creating a visually appealing and nutritionally robust breakfast experience.
Notes
- Prevent Clumping: Stir chia seeds frequently during the first 15 minutes to avoid seed clusters and ensure an even, smooth texture.
- Optimal Absorption Time: Refrigerate the pudding for at least 60 minutes, allowing chia seeds to fully hydrate and create a creamy, luxurious consistency.
- Blending Technique: Use a high-speed blender to transform ingredients into a silky, vibrant green liquid, ensuring a smooth base for the pudding.
- Serving Suggestion: Top with fresh, seasonal fruits to boost visual appeal and add extra nutritional value to your breakfast pudding.
