Vanilla Chia Seed Pudding

March 4, 2014 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 22 Comments

Good morning!

Gosh I can’t get that darn commercial out of my head, you know the one I’m talking about Cha, Cha, Cha, Chia!  So with that stupid commercial in my head, I thought, hmmm, instead of trying to grow my own chia pet, why not just eat the seeds?  No, I didn’t come up with today’s recipe because I was eating chia seeds, it’s just when I use chia seeds I think of that commercial.  So yupperdoodles, today’s recipe is using the same chia seeds that you use to grow hair on an animal, person or Scooby Doo!!  Silly stuff!  Who came up with actually eating the seeds?
Vanilla Chia Seed Pudding
My curiosity was peaked, what is up with all of these chia recipes? So I thought I would give one a try, chia pudding. Sounds strange doesn’t it? Well, I thought, why not give it a go! Maybe I will like it? Maybe it will change the world? Hmmm, chia pudding?
Vanilla Chia Seed Pudding
This is the simplest pudding I ever made. Even more simple then instant pudding. I took two cups of coconut milk, add chia seeds, maple syrup and vanilla extract. Gave it a mix, cover it up and in the fridge it went. The pudding needs to sit for about 8 hours, so I went to bed! I woke up in the morning and sure enough, there staring back at me was my chia pudding. It was thick, kind of gel like, but pretty looking!
Vanilla Chia Seed Pudding
Mixed it up and took a spoonful. You have to know I was a little afraid. Then my taste buds lite up! It tastes really good! The chia seeds took the flavors and called it its own. Wow! I’m impressed! This couldn’t be anymore easier to make and it’s got some great flavor going on. So I spooned my Vanilla Chia Seed Pudding and put it in a bowl and added some berries on top, because I need my berries. I love my breakfast! I really, really love it!! Wow, I am truly impressed!! Hmmmm, Cha, Cha, Cha, Chia for breakfast!
Vanilla Chia Seed Pudding
The texture of the chia seed pudding kind of reminds me of tapioca pudding, but better and healthier for you. It’s thick and has a tiny crunch from the seeds. It was also sweet and the vanilla flavor really stood out. Now that I made a basic recipe for Chia Pudding, I can make new recipes and change it up. The possibilities are endless. I am so excited to expand out into the Chia Pudding world!!

Vanilla Chia Seed Pudding
So why Chia Seeds? They are super-duper healthy for you! They contain omega 3’s, calcium, protein, fiber and this breakfast will fill you for hours. These little seeds are a super food for good reason, and the best part is that they are super tasting. I loved it so much, I filled my little mason jars with the Chia Seed Pudding and now will have it for breakfast for 4 days. I will just top with my berries! I don’t think my breakfast could get anymore healthy. Oh did you catch how much fiber 2/3 cups have? 9! That is awesome!! Now I will be filled till lunch and no snacking!!

Well my Friends, give this little pudding a try! I promise you won’t be disappointed!

Have a great day! Cha, Cha, Cha, Chia style!

Toodles,


Jennifer

    I made your pudding last night, but when I got up this morning, it was not gel like. The seeds had barely swollen up. Is there something extra I should do?

    • Jennifer @ Peanut Butter and Peppers says

      Hmmmm, It’s 3 tbsp of chia seeds per 1 cup of liquid. Just add about a tablespoon more chia seeds, mix it up and place black in the refrigerator. It will thicken up, and it shouldn’t take to long.

    Giada DeLaurentas has a chia seed pudding recipie similar to yours but she adds Greek yogurt to the milk mixture. It’s super yummy and has the added protien and probiotics. I just about have this for breakfast everyday.

    I have tried chia pudding before and I love it! My favorite flavor is chocolate banana. Just mix in 1 Tablespoon of good cocoa powder to the pudding and when you are ready to eat it slice 1/2 of a banana on top! delicious!

    Chia pudding is so good, isn’t it?
    The texture is definitely different from others, but I like it! And it is so versatile with what you can add to them 😀 What amazed me the most was how long it kept you feeling full for 🙂 Some granola and berries for topping et voila! 😀
    Lovely photos and blog 🙂 xx

Happy Thursday! It’s been a crazy week over at m Happy Thursday! It’s been a crazy week over at my house this week. I started rearranging things around and left messes throughout my house. I start in one spot and it spread throughout. I need to do some major cleanup before the weekend.
💙
One thing I did was change my table in my dining room. I went more neutral until I start to bring the lemons out. I can’t wait for lemon season. I already have a tablescape in mind.
💙
I got the cute Home Sweet Home sign from my friend Brantley from @thesassyoak. It’s in the perfect spot. When you walk into my house you see the table right away. Isn’t the sign so cute? It matches my home so beautifully.
💙
What are your plans for the weekend?

Happy Wednesday!! Half way through the week. Boy I Happy Wednesday!! Half way through the week. Boy I can’t wait for the weekend. I’m looking so forward to finish working in the garden. Well, technically it will never be finished, which I don’t mind. I want to plant a tomato this weekend. Just not sure what kind?
🌿
I refreshed my living room just a tad bit. I took down most of the bunnies, and that is all. I had a lot of them. It made me realize that I forgot my coffee bar. I still have bunnies, chicks and eggs on it. They’ll have to come down this week.
🌿
I have a surprise! Swipe my photo and you’ll see Sampson! He hasn’t made an appearance here in awhile. He said he misses you all!
🌿
Are you planting any vegetables this season?

My Mom got these by saving the stamps you would get from the grocery store with purchase. Each piece of China had a stamp value. So once you collected enough stamps you could pick up another piece of the collection. Needless to say, my Mom collected a lot of stamps and I have the whole set to serve 12 people.☕️

Happy Thursday! I changed up my dining room a lit Happy Thursday! I changed up my dining room  a little bit. I took out my Easter decor and gave it a more neutral look and did some switching around. Plus I added a Samantha Sue, who is laying down in the photo. lol
🍓
One of my favorite pieces that I added was my new @krumpetshomedecor sign. I love the style of the sign with the shiplap white wash look and of course the cute strawberry and daisies that add a pretty pop of color.
🍓
The sign is also reversible. It also says Life is Sweet on the other side without the strawberries and daises. The sign is the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week.

Hello and happy Wednesday! Thank you for all your Hello and happy Wednesday!  Thank you for all your kind words about the dentist. All he had to do is cement my crown back on. He said your crown has sticky with clear stuff on it. He said I don’t think it’s the old cement?  I told him I ate a white Trader Joe’s jelly bean and I thought I got it all off. He was laughing.

It’s that time of year for house plant care. While your plants are waking from dormancy, it’s time to feed them, repot them if needed and give a trim if applicable.
🌿
I also water my plants about every 7-10 days, depending on the plant. My coffee plant, fern, violet and my mixed plant container needs watering more. The key to know when to water is check the soil. I use a water meter probe and  you just stick it in the dirt. If it’s dry, I water. If it’s moist or wet, I’ll check again in a few days. You can get a water meter at Lowe’s, your local nursery or Amazon. It’s my number 1 garden tool. We use it on outside plants too.
🌿
I’m also sharing with you my cute little tea towel that I got from @e.h.designco. Her shop is closed right now because she’s moving, but will be open back in June.
🌿
Okay, go check your plants!

What’s your favorite house plant?

Happy Tuesday! Well today’s the day! I head to Happy Tuesday!  Well today’s the day! I head to the dentist. Wish me luck. I hope they will be able to glue my crown back on. I hate going to the dentist! Ugh!
🌸
Today I am sharing with you my new plates and bowls that I got from @sonemone_official. I just love them. The shade of blue is so pretty and I love the vibrant colors on them.
🌸
The bowls are huge and would make a wonderful soup bowl or salad bowl. The plates would be beautiful served with a charcuterie board. They are microwave and dishwasher safe. They would be so pretty on a summer tablescape.
🌸
Are you ready for summer decorating?

Happy Good Friday! So happy the weekend is here. Happy Good Friday!  So happy the weekend is here. It’s been a glorious week with warm temperatures and sunshine. Next week it’s supposed to cool off dramatically, so I am going to enjoy it while it’s here.
💕
I wanted to get one last Easter tiered tray in before Sunday. Everything you see here is from small shops. I tagged all of them in the photo.
💕
This weekend I’ll be taking a break from IG to work in the yard and to do some decorating so I have some new content to share with you. Though with Easter almost behind us, I’m unsure what I’ll do next? But I do think I’ll stick with the yellows? But we’ll see.
💕
Have the most wonderful weekend and Easter holiday!!

Happy Thursday! I can’t believe March is behind Happy Thursday! I can’t believe March is behind us and now we are in April. March flew by in a blink of an eye.  I can’t get over how fast the month went. It’s crazy.
🌸
My excitement for me today is trying to get into a dentist. My crown on my implant fell out yesterday when I was eating a jelly bean. The last place I want to go is the dentist. Yuck!
🌸
I’ll admit engagement in March on IG has just been awful. But I am so thankful for you. Thank you for stopping by and liking my photos and your sweet comments. You always make my day. Let’s hope April is better for all of us.
🌸
I’m sharing with you my top 4 photos of March. You guys picked some good ones. The first photo of the Easter tablescape is my favorite tablescape I’ve done.
🌸
Do you have any plans for this weekend?

Hey, hey, hey! Happy Wednesday! Well I crammed 23 Hey, hey, hey! Happy Wednesday! Well I crammed 23 bunnies into this picture, if you count the bunnies on the pillow. Can you find them all?
🐰
This is probably my favorite spot to decorate. About a year or so ago, I had no idea what to do in this area. I struggled so much. It’s just an odd space. Then I bought the white bench and it instantly became so much fun to decorate.
🐰
I loved the bench so much, I bought a second one to go under the other window. That bench holds my plants. I have other awkward spaces in my home that I would love to add a bench, but my husband would kill me if I got another. I can overdo things when I like something. Like bunnies and pumpkins. lol
🐰
Do you have something that you can’t resist to buy?
