A refreshing morning bowl with creamy chia pudding, fresh kiwi, strawberries, and crunchy nuts for a nourishing start.

# What You'll Need:

→ Chia Pudding Base

01 - 1/4 cup chia seeds
02 - 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
03 - 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey

# How To Make:

01 - In a medium bowl, whisk together chia seeds, almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined and no clumps remain.
02 - Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until the mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency.
03 - Stir the chilled chia pudding to redistribute any settled seeds, then divide evenly between two serving bowls.
04 - Arrange sliced kiwi and strawberries on top of each bowl in an appealing pattern.
05 - Sprinkle sliced almonds, coconut flakes, and extra chia seeds over the fruit layers as desired.
06 - Serve immediately while chilled. Best enjoyed within 24 hours for optimal texture.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together the night before, making mornings feel luxurious instead of rushed
  • The combination of tart kiwi and sweet strawberries creates the perfect balance
02 -
  • The first time I made this, I only waited an hour and ended up with chia milk instead of pudding, do not rush the chilling time
  • Give it a good stir before serving because the seeds do settle at the bottom
03 -
  • Use a Mason jar to mix and store your pudding, just shake it vigorously instead of whisking
  • If the pudding seems too thick after chilling, stir in a splash of milk to loosen it up
