Chia Pudding Grazing Board
Chia Pudding Grazing Board
Chia seeds are little nutritional powerhouses, rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which help reduce inflammation, support heart health and are vital for good memory and brain function. Chia seeds are also an excellent source of fibre, which aids digestion, promotes a feeling of fullness and helps regulate blood sugar levels. They also provide good-quality plant-based protein, supporting muscle repair and maintaining healthy blood sugar levels and insulin sensitivity.

Recipe
Ingredients
- ½ cup chia seeds
- 2½ cups coconut milk
- 2 tbsp pure maple syrup or raw honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
- Kiwi fruit, mango, banana, dragon fruit, grapes, peach
- Granola
- Nuts and seeds (hemp, flax, flaked almonds, walnuts, sunflower, pepitas)
- Yoghurt (dairy or coconut)
- Coconut flakes, cacao nibs
Method
- In a medium bowl, combine chia seeds, coconut milk, maple syrup and vanilla extract.
- Stir well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed and not clumped together.
- Let the mixture sit for 5 mins, then stir again to prevent the seeds from settling at the bottom.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hrs or overnight, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding-like consistency.
- Serve on a timber board with fresh fruit and small bowls of desired toppings.
