- Honey – 1.5 tbsp (or as required)
- Banana – 1 (sliced)
- Soaked almond slices – 1 tbsp
- Chopped pistachios – 1 tsp
Method
- Firstly, in a bowl or jar, pour 1 cup of coconut milk (or any milk of your choice). You can also use plant – based milk like alternatives like almond or oat milk.
- Now add 2 tablespoon of chia seeds to the milk.
- Next add almonds, cashews, 1 tbsp of black raisins and 1 tbsp of pumpkin seeds for extra flavor and nutrition.
- Sprinkle a pinch of saffron and 1 tsp of dried rose petals for a fragrant touch.
- For natural sweetness, mix in 1.5 tbsp of honey. Instead of honey you can use maple syrup.
- Now stir everything well to combine.
- Cover the jar or bowl and place it in the fridge for overnight or at least 8 -9 hrs. This will allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and form a thick, pudding like consistency.
- In the morning, take out the chia pudding from the fridge.

- Garnish with soaked almonds slices, chopped pistachios and a drizzle of honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness.

Tips –
- Make sure to stir the chia seeds well when mixing, as they tend to clump. Stir once after 5 – 10 minutes of soaking to prevent lumps.
- If you are vegan or prefer a sugar-free option, you can skip honey or use natural sweetener like stevia or dates syrup.
- Feel free to creative with toppings. Add berries, pomegranate or other fruits for added flavor and color.
- You can store the prepared chia pudding in the fridge for up to 3 days, making it a perfect healthy breakfast!
