Cha-Cha-Cha Chia Pudding
Cha-Cha-Cha Chia Pudding
Chia seeds remind me of the Orbitz drinks we coveted in the 1990s. We enjoyed them because they resembled lava lamps, not because they tasted good. Like the unidentifiable gelatinous globules that now exist only in our dreams, chia seeds are flavorless and only as good as the ingredients that surround them. When soaked overnight in milk (or a milk alternative) and infused with a sweetener, they create a texture play that is totally tubular, with toppings such as coconut and kiwi that also lend themselves to even more taste and texture complexities. If only my hair would grow as fast as an actual chia plant, then this would truly be the miracle food we’ve all been waiting for.

Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:
LITERALLY CAN’T EVEN
If you like a sweeter breakfast, add an additional tablespoon of maple syrup. The coconut yogurt adds an extra layer of creaminess to this chia pudding, but remove it if you’re not a fan.
