I can't get enough of this Chia Seed Pudding with Roasted Dates and Fresh Mint—it’s a perfect mix of health and indulgence!

This chia seed pudding with roasted dates is absolutely delicious, and may help lower blood pressure!

For an even sweeter version, add some ripe banana into the chia seed and dairy-free milk mixture before you allow the pudding to sit in the fridge overnight.

Fresh dates can be hard to locate—you can easily use dried dates here.

Pro Tip: Consider warming your dates up gently in the oven before serving!

If you mix this with our classic homemade Greek yogurt and some Gluten-free granola, you have created a new spin on yogurt parfaits!

Total Time

  • Prep Time: 15 minutes

  • Cooking Time: 4 minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 Tbsp Chia Seeds

  • A Small Pinch of Ground Cinnamon

Instructions

  1. For the chia seed pudding, combine the chia seeds, ground cinnamon, and almond milk. Stir until fully mixed.

  2. Divide the contents into 3-4 small serving glasses, and allow the chia seed pudding to chill and set in the fridge overnight.

  3. The following morning, when you are getting ready to eat breakfast, preheat your oven to 400˚F.
