RAINBOW CHIA SEED PUDDING INSPIRATION

Okay so every year we usually go up to Montreal during the summer time. From where we live in upstate New York, it is about a 4 hour drive. Montreal has this street in the gay village that is absolutely gorgeous. The entire street has different colored decorations to make it look like you are walking through a rainbow!

But this year we haven't been able to drive up because the border is still closed due to COVID 19 and I am really missing it. So, I thought I would bring the rainbow theme here! I made this healthy and delicious rainbow chia seed pudding!

TIPS FOR MAKING THE BEST RAINBOW CHIA SEED PUDDING

Use milk. If you try to make chia seed pudding with water, the texture will not be as creamy. I used soy milk, but you can also make my rainbow chia seed pudding with coconut milk, almond milk, or any milk that you like!

Make sure to completely whisk to combine. If you don't stir your chia seed pudding well, you will end up with big hard chunks of chia seeds. Plus, you want to make sure the super food powders are totally stirred in too.

Give yourself time. Chia seeds taste best when they have gelled (absorbed water), so let them sit for at least 15 minutes before eating.

Use ripe fruit! Ripe fruit has the best and sweetest flavor. If you can't find certain fruits in my recipe, just use whatever you like!

HOW TO MAKE RAINBOW CHIA SEED PUDDING

First, get out a bunch of little bowls to make each color of chia seed pudding.

In each bowl, add 1 tablespoon of chia seeds, ¼ cup of milk, and the color (beet root powder, turmeric, passion fruit flakes, moringa, butterfly pea powder).

Whisk each one with a fork to totally combine it.

Use separate forks to avoid mixing colors!

Go back to it a few minutes later and whisk it again to make sure that the chia seed pudding gels properly.

Next, rinse and chop your fruits.

If there is a different type of fruit that you want to use, use that instead!

Maybe some pineapple instead of banana. Or mango instead of oranges!
