This intentional, honey-infused chia pudding requires just a few minutes of preparation-yet provides a foundation of sustained energy for the day ahead. It is an ideal solution for busy mornings, light lunches, or a mindful afternoon snack when you desire something cool, creamy, and naturally nourishing.
The subtle, earthy sweetness of BeeNZ Manuka Honey acts as the perfect counterpoint to the velvet texture of the chia, creating a breakfast that feels like a quiet luxury.
Prepare Ahead For:
-
Focused work mornings
-
Post-workout recovery
-
Mindful meal prepping
-
A light, healthful dessert
Ingredients
-
2tbsp chia seeds
-
1/2 cup nut milk (we recommend almond or cashew for a creamy finish)
-
1/2-1 tsp BeeNZ Manuka Honey (UMF 5+ or 10+ for daily wellness)
-
1/2 tsp pure vanilla bean paste or extract
-
A pinch of sea salt
-
Fresh berries or toasted nuts for garnish
Instructions
-
Combine: In a glass jar or medium bowl, whisk together the nut milk, BeeNZ Manuka Honey, vanilla, and sea salt until the honey is fully integrated.
-
Incorporate: Stir in the chia seeds. Ensure they are evenly distributed to avoid clumping.
-
Rest: Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, though overnight is ideal for the smoothest consistency.
-
Stir: Before serving, give the pudding a quick stir. If it is too thick, add a splash of extra milk to reach your preferred texture.
-
Finish: Top with fresh seasonal fruit, a sprig of mint, or an additional drizzle of Manuka Honey for a final touch of gold.
Serving Notes
Enhance the texture by layering the pudding with homemade granola or a dollop of thick Greek yogurt.
Storage
Store in an airtight glass jar in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
