Description

A tangy, creamy chia pudding infused with fresh lemon juice and zest, lightly sweetened with maple syrup, and made creamy with yogurt or coconut cream. It’s the perfect meal-prep breakfast or guilt-free dessert nutrient-packed, easy to customize, and irresistibly refreshing.

Ingredients
  • 4 tbsp Chia seeds (White or black chia seeds work fine)
  • 1 cup Plant-based milk (Almond, oat, or coconut milk)
  • 2 tbsp Lemon juice (Freshly squeezed preferred)
  • 1 tbsp Lemon zest (Organic lemons ideal)
  • 1–2 tbsp Maple syrup ((Adjust to taste (or use alternative sweeteners))
  • 2 tbsp Greek yogurt or coconut cream (For creaminess)
  • Pinch salt (Enhances lemon flavor)
  • ½ tsp Vanilla extract (optional) (Adds warmth)
Instructions
  1. 1

  2. 2
    Add Chia Seeds

    Gradually whisk in chia seeds, stirring constantly to avoid clumping.

  3. 3
    Chill & Set

    Let sit for 30 minutes. Stir again, then refrigerate covered for at least 4 hours (or overnight).

  4. 4
    Add Creaminess

    Stir in Greek yogurt or coconut cream once thickened. Blend if a smooth texture is desired.

  5. 5
    Serve

    Spoon into jars or bowls. Garnish with:

    • Lemon slices

    • Toasted coconut

    • Mint leaves
