Marni Wasserman, culinary nutritionist, health strategist, Sunwarrior ambassador, brings her charm and cooking skills to Sunwarrior HQ with this chocolate chia breakfast vegan pudding recipe.
She hits the kitchen with a fast, easy, and delicious way to make yourself a vegan breakfast pudding. Who doesn’t love chocolate in the morning? But, for the few out there who don’t love chocolate, you can make a vanilla or fruity variation too. The secret is chia! That’s what transforms your ingredients into a recipe for pudding. These tiny seeds may resemble a poppy seed, but they have soluble fiber that can absorb a ton of water, making anything they’re in take on a gelatin texture without having to use any gelatin. Chia is also a nutritional powerhouse, full of protein and healthy fats for extra energy.
You can mix and match your ingredients here. Try a vanilla chai pudding by skipping the chocolate, using a little vanilla protein powder, and adding a little dash of ginger. Make it a berry blitz pudding with blended berries. Make it a tropical pudding with pineapple and mango juices topped with banana. The sky is the limit here.
