    Milk Tart Chia Pudding

    Today’s recipe is for my ultimate breakfast / dessert hybrid Milk Tart Chia Pudding. Milk Tart is an Afrikaans dessert consisting of a sweet pastry crust containing a custard filling made from milk, flour, sugar and eggs. For this recipe, we take those flavours and incorporate them into a breakfast that is sure to be a crowd pleaser this Christmas.  What’s better than a sweet chia pudding for breakfast you ask – well how about a Milk Tart Chia Pudding that tastes like the real deal but is gluten free and vegan? For this recipe, I purchased my ingredients (cinnamon, chia, nutmeg, vanilla) from the Zero Waste Store The Refillery. …

Pour into the…

That is what I wanted to recreate with this Chia Pudding recipe and to do that, I used crunchy cocoa nibs, a dash of peppermint essence for that freshness and cocoa powder to give the chia seeds a chocolate flavour.

    Dreamy Blueberry and Coconut Chia Pudding

    Today I am making Dreamy Blueberry and Coconut Chia Pudding, using Blueberry Powder from Chayah Foods and Coconut Yoghurt from Woolies.  This Dreamy Blueberry and Coconut Chia Pudding is going to be your new favourite breakfast! I have mentioned quite a few times that Chia Pudding is one of my favourite gluten-free snacks and breakfasts, for a few reasons. Just two tablespoons of chia seeds contain 4g of protein and they are also a good source of soluble fibre – which is very soothing to the gut. Chia Seeds also contain iron and Omega 3’s and have a neutral taste, taking on any flavour you add to them, which means…

    Mango and Coconut Chia Pudding

    Today’s recipe is a very simple Mango and Coconut Chia Pudding that you can eat for breakfast or as a midday snack. This Mango & Coconut Chia Pudding is healthy and easy to make and is loaded with sweet mango flavour. You only need a handful of ingredients and a bowl and I have adapted it for you in case you don’t have a blender.   Mango and Coconut Chia Pudding I generally make chia pudding with almond milk, but I think coconut and mango go very well together in this recipe. In fact, the combination of flavours and the texture of the chia pudding remind me of a Mango,…
