What You’ll Need To Make
Key Ingredients Breakdown
→ Chia Seeds: These tiny powerhouses are the star of the show! Packed with omega-3s, fiber, and protein, they turn into a creamy pudding when mixed with liquid. Plus, they’re super filling, so you’ll stay satisfied longer.
→ Almond Milk: I love using unsweetened almond milk for a light and nutty base. It keeps things dairy-free and blends perfectly with the other flavors. Feel free to swap with your favorite milk!
→ Honey: A little drizzle of honey adds just the right touch of natural sweetness. If you’re vegan, maple syrup is a great alternative!
→ Granola: Crunch time! Granola brings that perfect crispy texture and a bit of indulgence. Use your favorite mix or even make your own.
→ Kiwi: Juicy, tangy, and packed with vitamin C—kiwi adds a pop of color and a tropical vibe to the whole dish.

Recipe Swaps & Creative Tweaks
1| Switch the Sweetener: Not a honey fan? Use maple syrup, agave, or even a splash of vanilla extract for a subtle twist.
2| Change the Milk: Almond milk is great, but coconut milk gives it a creamier, tropical vibe. Oat or regular dairy milk works too!
3| Go Nutty: Sprinkle some crushed almonds, walnuts, or pistachios on top for extra crunch and flavor.
4| Fruity Fun: Swap the kiwi with fresh berries, sliced bananas, diced mango, or even peaches—whatever’s in season or your fridge!
5| Granola Glow-Up: Try chocolate granola for a dessert-like treat or a nut-free option if that’s your jam.
6| Boost the Protein: Mix in a scoop of your favorite protein powder or top with Greek yogurt for a more filling meal.
7| Add Some Spice: A dash of cinnamon, nutmeg, or even cardamom can give the pudding a cozy, spiced kick.
These swaps and tweaks make this recipe super versatile, so you can customize it just the way you like! 🥝✨

Useful Tips for Success
1| Mix Well: Stir the chia seeds, almond milk, and honey thoroughly to prevent clumps. A whisk works great if you want to be extra sure!
2| Give It Time: Let the pudding chill for at least 2 hours (or overnight) for the best texture. The longer it sits, the creamier it gets.
3| Layer Like a Pro: For a picture-perfect dish, layer the pudding, granola, and kiwi in clear jars or glasses. It looks fancy, but it’s so easy!
4| Prep Ahead: Make a big batch of chia pudding and keep it in the fridge for up to 4 days. Add toppings just before serving to keep things fresh.
5| Adjust Sweetness: Taste the mix before chilling and tweak the honey to suit your sweet tooth—or skip it for a low-sugar option.
6| Experiment with Textures: Want a smoother pudding? Blend the chia seed mixture before refrigerating for a silky consistency.
7| Use Ripe Kiwi: Look for kiwis that are slightly soft to the touch—they’ll be sweet and perfect for this recipe.
