Ingredients
  

Pudding Base
  • 2 cups milk dairy or plant-based
  • 1/2 cup chia seeds
  • 1/4 cup orange juice fresh
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest freshly grated
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Toppings
  • 1/4 cup granola optional
  • 2 tablespoons toasted coconut optional
  • 1/4 cup orange segments for garnish

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Measuring Cups
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Citrus Zester
  • Storage Jars
  • Freezer
  • Tray
  • Scoop
  • Refrigerator

Method
 

  1. Whisk milk, orange juice, orange zest, maple syrup, vanilla, and chia seeds until fully combined.
  2. Let the mixture rest for five minutes, then whisk again to prevent clumps and create a creamy texture.
  3. Divide into jars, cover, and refrigerate overnight until thick and spoonable.
  4. Stir gently before serving. Add a splash of milk if you prefer a softer consistency.
  5. Top with orange segments, granola, and toasted coconut before serving chilled.

Notes

For a softer texture, add extra milk. For a thicker pudding, increase chia seeds slightly. Freeze plain portions for future breakfasts and thaw overnight before serving. Add crunchy toppings just before eating for the best assembly. Customize with cinnamon, berries, or vanilla yogurt. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to four days.
