Instructions:
Mix the Liquid Base
In a small container, combine 80g coco milk and 120g almond milk. Stir well to create a creamy and luscious liquid base. You can also add 1 scoop of protein powder if you want more protein.
Add Chia Seeds and Oats
Add 30g chia seeds and 30g oats to the liquid mixture. Stir thoroughly to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes to allow the chia seeds and oats to absorb the liquids.
Integrate the Nutty Goodness
Add in 30g walnuts and 30g almonds. These nuts not only add a delightful crunch but also bring healthy fats and a bit of protein to the mix.
Sweeten to Taste
If you have a sweet tooth, add a drizzle of maple syrup to the mixture. Adjust the sweetness according to your preference. Remember, the apple will also contribute natural sweetness.
Incorporate the Apple
Add in the diced apple pieces. The apple provides a burst of freshness, fiber, and natural sweetness, elevating the flavor profile of the pudding. You can also replace the apple by berries.
Refrigerate
Cover and refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours or overnight. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquids and create a pudding-like consistency.
Serve and Garnish
Once chilled and set, your Coconut Almond Chia Pudding is ready to be enjoyed. Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on top for an extra layer of flavor.
Bon appetit!
