banana chia pudding ingredients — All you need are a few simple ingredients to make this delicious chia pudding! I like to use blend a fresh banana into the liquid ingredients to give it the best banana flavor.

Chia Seeds: Chia seeds are a great source of fiber and have over ten grams in ounce. They are also an excellent source of omega-3 healthy fats which are a great addition to your healthy diet. They are also rich in antioxidants, iron, and calcium.

Almond Butter: For an extra dose of healthy fats and deliciousness.

Banana: You can’t have a banana bread flavored chia pudding without banana. All you need is one small banana for this recipe.

Almond and Coconut Milk: I love the combination of almond and coconut milk in this recipe. The coconut milk is just a bit creamier than the almond milk and together they provide just the right balance of creaminess.

Cinnamon: Helps to give the chia pudding that classic banana bread flavor.

Vanilla Extract: For just the right touch of vanilla flavor.

Ashlea’s Tips and Tricks

If you do not have almond or coconut milk you can use another non-dairy milk of your choice. Cashew milk would be a great option!
Don’t have almond butter? You can use another nut butter of your choice like cashew butter. You can also use peanut butter, just know that it will slightly change the flavor of the chia pudding.
You can store the chia seed pudding in an air-tight container in the fridge for two to three days. Store it without the toppings or fruit and add them to the pudding when you’re ready to eat.

Pour the chia seed mixture into a storage container (I love using these jars) and place it in the refrigerator. After ten minutes, give it another stir to make sure everything is evenly combined.
Leave the chia pudding in the fridge overnight. In the morning give it a good stir and then top it with sliced bananas, your favorite granola, and even a little nut butter if that’s your thing. Enjoy!
