Prep Time: 5 minutes Serves: 2 People
Sit Time: At least 2 hours
Total Time: 2 hours, and 5 minutes
INGREDIENTS
1/4 cup Black Chia seeds
1 cup Almond Milk (I use the unsweetened)
1 Tbsp. Honey
1 tsp. Imitation Vanilla extract (if you are using pure vanilla, use only 1/2 tsp)
4 Strawberries, (2 diced, and 2 sliced for decorating the glass)
1/4 cup Pineapple, divided
Handful of Raspberries
INSTRUCTIONS
In a small bowl, mix the almond milk, chia seeds, honey, and vanilla together until thoroughly combined and honey is no longer clumped.
Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes, then mix again.
Cover the mixture in the bowl with aluminum foil and allow it to set in the fridge for at least two hours, until desired thickness is reached.
Get two small glasses and divide the chopped pineapple into each to create a base layer at the bottom of each glass.
Next, place the sliced strawberries on the sides of the glass (this step is completely optional).
Once it has set for a couple of house, scoop the chia pudding into each glass till you reach about halfway.
Once you have reached that, create a layer of fruit with the diced strawberries.
Fill the rest of the glass up with the chia pudding.
Garnish the top of the glass with the raspberries, some strawberries, and pineapple.
Let the pudding sit overnight and enjoy it the next day!
