Avocado Lime Chia Pudding
One of my all-time favourite things I have ever eaten. Strong statement? I stand behind it, this recipe is DELICIOUS!
It’s no secret that one of my favourite foods to work with is chia seeds. They’re versatile, almost tasteless, and provide so much nutritional benefit. They contain a significant amount of soluble fibre per tablespoon, perfect for regularity, blood sugar and cholesterol management, and increased satiety.
While you don’t need to blend chia seeds to access all the benefits, you certainly can for a smoother texture if you prefer it. Since we’re using a blender or food processor for this recipe, chances are your seeds will end up smooth but you can always mill them in a coffee grinder before starting or purchase milled/ground chia seeds as well.
Avocado Lime Chia Pudding
1 Avocado, peeled and pitted (approx 1 cup)
1 1/4 cups (300 mL) plain greek or skyr yogurt
¾ cup (175 mL) Kefir
1 tsp (5 mL)Grated Lime Zest
¼ cup (50 mL) Lime Juice (fresh or bottled)
2-4 tbsp (25-50 mL) maple syrup or honey
¼ cup (50 mL) Chia Seeds
Directions
Combine all ingredients in blender or food processor. Blend until smooth, scraping down side as necessary.
Cover and refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour.
Divide among 6 small bowls and serve!
Notes
Can alter this recipe as desired; plain or flavoured yogurt, more or less sweetener, etc.
To make dairy-free, use your favourite milk-free yogurt and sub coconut kefir or milk-free alternative like canned coconut milk, soy milk, cashew milk, etc.
Add more chia seeds for a thicker texture if desired.
For thinner texture, use a little more liquid.
You can use frozen avocado, but let thaw before blending for a smoother texture. This will give you a slightly darker colour than fresh.
Recipe lasts 2-3 days in the fridge but will brown slightly due to the avocado; it is still okay to eat.
