Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/2 cup Almond Milk
- 5 ounces Vegan Yogurt (a heaping half cup)
- 1-2 Tablespoons Pure Maple Syrup, To Taste
- Splash of Vanilla Extract
- 2 Tablespoons Chia Seeds
- Half to a full serving of our 10-Minute Caramelized Bananas OR sliced bananas
Instructions
- Add Ingredients: To a jar or airtight container, add the non-dairy milk, plant-based yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk with a fork until combined. Taste it and adjust sweetness as needed.
- Add Chia Seeds: Now add the chia seeds and stir it in really well until they are fully distributed throughout the container.
- Chill: Cover containers and add them to a refrigerator. Let chill for at least 2-4 hours or overnight for best results.
- Optional, Make the Caramelized Bananas: You can follow our caramelized bananas recipe for the exact measurements, but you basically toss sliced ripe bananas in skillet with melted vegan butter and sugar of choice (we like coconut sugar for this because it's naturally sweet AND the flavor goes great with the bananas) and stir and let it cook for like 10 minutes over medium heat or until desired tenderness. You can also just top your banana chia pudding with fresh sliced bananas if you prefer.
- Serve: Serve with whatever form of bananas you like and any crunchy toppings such as nuts, seeds, or granola. Enjoy! P.S. If it's too thick for your preference, stir in a splash of plant-based milk.
- Storage: Didn't finish? You can store this in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days no problem.
Notes
- Note 1: Really any plant based milk will work! We did almond milk for this recipe because the brand we buy (and many are) is boosted with calcium, but soy milk and pea milk are higher in protein content so they're definitely some great options.
- Note 2: Any plant based yogurt is great here. This is what makes it really creamy and luscious! For extra protein, try some plant based Greek yogurt! We make our own homemade Soy Milk Yogurt that we use daily.
- Note 3: Maple syrup is what we used for our sweetener, feel free to use your favorite sweetener.
- Note 4: Depending on what you're in the mood for, this is how we're getting a ton of delicious banana flavor in our banana chia pudding. We can't recommend the Caramelized Bananas enough though!
