Instructions
- How to Whip Up Your Vegan Orange and Chia Seed Pudding:
- Start by zesting one of the oranges and then squeezing out the juice from both. You should get roughly a half-cup of fresh orange juice. Keep the zest and juice separate.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, pour in the almond milk, followed by the orange juice. Mix them well.
- Add in the maple syrup and vanilla extract for a touch of sweetness and depth. Whisk until all ingredients are harmoniously combined.
- Now, it's time for the star ingredient! Gradually sprinkle the chia seeds into the mix while stirring to prevent clumping.
- Mix in that vibrant orange zest for a delightful citrusy punch.
- Once all ingredients are well incorporated, cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid. Let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 3-4 hours. This allows the chia seeds to swell up and achieve that pudding consistency.
- After the waiting period, give your Vegan Orange and Chia Seed Pudding a good stir. It should be thick, creamy, and oh-so-delicious!
