Like everybody out there, I too got into the chia bandwagon a few years ago. I remember the first time I had a taste of chia pudding. It was in a corner shop called Swan’s in our town Naas, back in Ireland. We had gone for a celebratory Eid breakfast after prayers. And they didn’t have any gluten free breakfasts. Only the chia pudding. The pudding was thick and creamy with a slight hint of sweetness. Topped with a raspberry puree that’s both sweet and sour which nicely complemented the luscious pudding.  I bought some chia seeds home that day. I couldn’t convince my family to try the pudding. They developed a dislike even before tasting it.

Recently I grabbed some organic chia seeds from our local Costco hoping to get some much needed fibre into me. One day this past summer, I was at a loss as to what to make for breakfast for the kids. And I quickly mixed up some chia pudding in the night and gave it for breakfast without a word. Kept some chocolate chips and sauteed apples as toppings. The mugs were polished for my amazement. That’s how we started having chia in our life again.

If it’s not for breakfast we have it as an after school snack. I love how easy this apple chia pudding recipe is to make.  Mix the all the ingredients and refrigerate overnight. If you want it fast, then 2 hours would be enough for the seeds to plump up. I have done it both ways and they both taste great.

Chia seeds and liquids

For every 3 tablespoons of chia seeds you need 1 cup of liquid. I have used 1/2 cup of chia seeds with 2 cups of liquid. Apple sauce, yogurt and milk. We love this combination. Use whatever combination works best for you. I sometimes use store-bought apple sauce or make my own. I’ve given the recipe for apple sauce too in the recipe card.

Sauteed apples

Let’s talk about sauteed apples. I recently started topping our chia pudding with sauteed apples and we all love it. You can find me recipe for easy sauteed apples here. They make a great addition now that we have loads of apples from apple picking.
