Description

Key Lime Chia Seed Pudding is a bright, zesty, and naturally creamy dessert that combines fresh lime juice with chia seeds soaked in smooth plant-based milk. This healthy and ultra-refreshing pudding balances flavor and nutrition perfectly, making it an easy-to-make treat ideal for snacks, breakfast, or dessert with a light citrus zing and gentle creaminess.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1 1/2 cups plant-based milk (such as almond or oat milk)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Mix the Wet Ingredients: Whisk together fresh lime juice, plant-based milk, maple syrup (natural), vanilla extract (natural), and a pinch of lime zest in a medium-sized bowl until well combined.
  2. Add Chia Seeds: Stir in the chia seeds and, if using, the natural gelling agent to the liquid mixture. Mix thoroughly to ensure the seeds are evenly distributed and not clumped together.
  3. Refrigerate to Set: Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or overnight. During this time, the chia seeds absorb the liquid and create the pudding’s creamy texture.
  4. Stir and Adjust: Before serving, give the pudding a good stir to break up any lumps and check the consistency. Add extra plant-based milk if it’s too thick or more lime juice if you want more zesty flavor.

Notes

  • Use freshly squeezed lime juice for the best flavor.
  • Stir the pudding once or twice during the first hour of chilling to prevent seeds from settling at the bottom.
  • Adjust sweetness by modifying the amount of maple syrup (natural) or substituting with agave syrup (natural).
  • Refrigerate long enough for chia seeds to fully absorb the liquid and achieve pudding texture.
  • Use creamy plant-based milk options such as almond or oat milk for enriched texture and flavor.
