Almond Joy Chia Pudding
Enjoy the flavors of an Almond Joy chocolate bar with this Almond Joy Chia Seed Pudding! Breakfast or dessert? Does it even matter?!
Ok, have you jumped on with this Chia Seed Pudding bandwagon yet? If not, let me help you! I’m not going to tell you all the health benefits of Chia Seeds, because, to be honest, I don’t know them all. But I can tell you that it is healthy! And a quick trip to Google will better explain it to you than I could. What I do know is that Chia Seed Pudding is quickly becoming a favorite for me, right up there with my morning Oatmeal. And we all know how much I love my oatmeal! Chia Seeds are so easy to make and you can change it up to create new flavors also. For example, this Almond Joy Chia Seed Pudding! Has all the same flavors of one of my favorite candy bars..even the chocolate. Chocolate for breakfast?! Count me in!
When making Chia Seeds for breakfast, it’s best to have them chill in the fridge overnight. You need to make sure that your Chia Seeds have absorbed liquid. That’s where the magic happens. When you get them out of the fridge in the morning you may notice that they absorbed all the liquid and it’s slightly thick. I usually add some extra almond milk to get the texture just how I like it, not so thick, slightly runny. And with this recipe notice that I’m using Vanilla Almond Milk. Which has some sweetness to it. If you’re using a non-sweetened almond milk add a little maple syrup to get a sweeter taste to your Chia Seed Pudding. I know you are going to fall in love with chia seeds after this one! Enjoy!

I made this with unsweetened plain almond milk and 1 tsp of vanilla extract since I misread the ingredient but otherwise it turned out beautiful and I could not believe it, my chia pudding actually set overnight!
calories?
Hi Stacey! I actually don’t provide calorie information on my site, I would recommend adding the ingredients into a calculator online to determine that 🙂
Is that the thicker, sweet coconut cream or unsweetened (like Thai Coconut Milk)?
I used Goya Coconut Milk in mine. Not the light version. Hope that helps!
