Healthy Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp Chia Pudding (Vegan / Gluten Free / Refined Sugar Free)

This chia pudding is inspired by a classic strawberry rhubarb crisp, but made healthy and into chia pudding so it can be eaten for a nourishing breakfast! 😉 The vanilla and cardamom flavoured chia pudding is topped with delicious strawberry rhubarb compote and crisp! In other words, this pudding is delicious!

This pudding is so fresh and summery! It’s perfect for hot days when you want a no-bake healthy treat that requires minimal effort. I topped it with my Healthy Everyday Granola to get that yummy crisp topping. So I scooped out some nice oatmeal granola chunks that are full of flavour from spices like cardamom and cinnamon! This gave the chia pudding more taste and texture to imitate a classic crisp. I hope I’ve tempted you to make this healthy treat! Enjoy!

Ingredients

  

• 2 cups oat milk (500 ml) or other plant milk of choice
• 7-8 tbsp chia seeds *
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1 tsp cardamom
• pinch of sea salt
• 2 tbsp maple syrup

Toppings

• granola homemade or storebought**
• Strawberry Rhubarb compote ***

Instructions

 

• Mix all of the chia pudding ingredients together until the chia seeds are fully combined with the liquid. Then let the seeds swell in the fridge for about 3-4 hours minimum.
• While the chia pudding is doing it's magic, make the Strawberry Rhubarb Compote so it has time to chill in the fridge when it's fully prepared.
• When the chia pudding is ready, remove it from the fridge, and mix the pudding again. Serve in a glass or bowl with compote and crumble. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. Enjoy!

Notes

** I find 7-8 tbsp chia seeds to be best for this recipe if you wait about 3-4 hours, but if you let the pudding sit overnight it gets more thick so then you can just add a splash of plant milk to make it less thick again (if you want of course!). It depends how firm you like your pudding to be.

**I used homemade granola, my Healthy Everyday Granola recipe but I scooped out just the oatmeal clumps with no raisins etc.

***I topped the pudding with my Strawberry Rhubarb Compote.
