This classic chai tea chia pudding has the perfect flavor combination o all the spices of chai tea and the benefits of chia. Love it for breakfast with a dollop of vegan yogurt or as a dessert with vegan whipped cream.
About the chai chia pudding
This vegan chia pudding is very light in texture and with tons of warm notes. It is the perfect pudding to start the morning if you serve some cashew yogurt on top or as a dessert if you serve this chai tea chia pudding with whipped coconut cream.
About the chai tea
The tea is from Mountain Rose Herbs, and I have to tell you that from the moment I opened the box, I could smell the deliciousness of the tea.
Just imagine clove, cardamom, and cinnamon together. Delicious right? the complexity of the flavors it’s really outstanding and I’m sure you haven’t tasted anything so delightful as this one.
Why is this chia pudding different?
You will notice that this is not the classic creamy vanilla or chocolate chia pudding recipe. For starters, I hydrated the chia seeds (which are also from Mountain Rose Herbs and are fantastic) with the classic chai tea mix.
tips and tricks
In this list, you’ll find the perfect tricks to make outstanding chia puddings.
- Tip number one to make the best chia pudding is to whisk the chia seeds and the liquid. By whisking you will ensure that all of the ingredients and chia seeds are well incorporated.
- I like to serve the tea straight from my teapot, but if you like your chai tea with milk add it before adding the liquid to the chia seeds.
- For this recipe, I use coconut sugar and vanilla bean powder. I how easy is to cook with powdered vanilla and the perfumed aroma is really outstanding.
- This recipe serves two chia puddings, but you can easily duplicate it.
- If you like your chia puddings with fruit on top slice some bananas, mangoes, apples, or peaches on top.
- Here are other recipes I have made in collaboration with Mountain Rose Herbs: spiced chickpea patties, crunchy chili oil
