Chia seeds are one of the most versatile foods I have ever come across. Not only are they a great topping for smoothie bowls, an awesome replacement for eggs and an enjoyable alternative to poppy seeds, they can also transform into nutrient-packed, delicious and super-filling pudding!
This vegan lemon-cardamom pudding takes just minutes to prepare (although overnight refrigeration is necessary) making it a great breakfast or dessert option for anyone with a busy schedule. Simply throw all the ingredients in a mason jar, shake super well and stick in the fridge! Give it about 8 hours and VIOLA, plant-based pudding perfection!
• 1 1/2 cup dairy-free milk, I love Oatly! (Or learn to make your own almond milk!)
