Ingredients
  

Pudding Base
  • 1/4 cup Chia Seeds Provides thickness and a creamy texture; substitute with flax seeds if necessary.
  • 1 cup Light Coconut Milk Adds creaminess and a subtle coconut flavor; use almond or any preferred plant-based milk for a different taste.
  • 2 tablespoons Maple Syrup Acts as a natural sweetener; can be replaced with agave nectar or honey.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Enhances flavor depth; use pure vanilla for the best taste.
  • 3 tablespoons Freshly Squeezed Orange Juice Contributes bright flavor and essential nutrients; bottled orange juice can be used but may contain sweeteners.
Toppings
  • 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt Adds protein and creaminess to the top; use plant-based yogurt for a vegan option.
  • 1/2 cup Mandarin Orange Slices Provides a sweet, fresh topping; substitute with other fruits like berries or bananas if unavailable.
  • 1 tablespoon Orange Zest Infuses additional citrus flavor; optional, but recommended for a vibrant taste.
  • 2 tablespoons Coconut Flakes Add texture and a hint of sweetness; can be omitted if desired.

Equipment

  • Mason jar or sealable container

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Begin by freshly squeezing the juice from three mandarins; this should yield about three tablespoons of orange juice.
  2. In a mason jar or a sealable container, combine the freshly squeezed orange juice, 1 cup of light coconut milk, 1/4 cup of chia seeds, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, and a splash of vanilla extract. Stir the mixture well.
  3. Allow the mixed ingredients to sit for about five minutes, giving the chia seeds time to absorb the liquid. Stir again to prevent clumping.
  4. Cover the mason jar or container tightly and refrigerate the mixture for at least two hours, or overnight for best results.
  5. Once your Orange Creamsicle Chia Pudding has thickened, spoon it into bowls or glasses, and top with Greek yogurt, mandarin orange slices, orange zest, and coconut flakes.
