Yield: 2 small puddings
Prep Time: 3 minutes
Chill Time: 20-25 Minutes
Ingredients:
1 ripe banana
2/3 cup milk or milk alternative
2 tablespoons chia seeds
Nutty Puffs (for topping)
Instructions:
- In a blender, combine the banana and milk until smooth—just like making a smoothie.
- Stir in the chia seeds. If you prefer, you can pulse them once or twice in the blender, but avoid over-blending.
- Pour the mixture into small jars or bowls, and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to allow the chia seeds to gel.
- Just before serving, top with a handful of Nutty Puffs for added texture, protein, and crunch.
