Ingredients

6 cups almond milk
6 tablespoons agave syrup, or to taste
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
3.5 oz dragon fruit purée (pitaya)
1 mango, peeled and sliced
1 large avocado
0.28 oz wheatgrass powder
1/2 lime, juiced
1 1/2 lemons, juiced
15 tablespoons chia seeds
1.5 oz dark chocolate bar
1 tablespoon bee pollen
Edible flowers for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: For the chocolate chia pudding, heat 1 cup of almond milk and stir in the dark chocolate bar until melted. Sweeten with 1 tablespoon of agave or to your taste, then whisk in 3 tablespoons of chia seeds and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Cover and refrigerate for a few hours until set.
Step 2: In a mini food processor, puree the sliced mango with a splash of almond milk until smooth. Sweeten to taste with agave and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 2.5 tablespoons of chia seeds. Cover and refrigerate.
Step 3: In a cup, whisk together 1 cup of almond milk, wheatgrass powder, and juice from half a lime. Sweeten to taste with agave and whisk in 3 tablespoons of chia seeds. Cover and refrigerate.
Step 4: Using the food processor, puree the avocado with 1/2 cup almond milk and juice from 1 lemon. Sweeten to taste with agave and whisk in 3 tablespoons of chia seeds. Cover and refrigerate.
Step 5: In a separate cup, whisk together 1 cup of almond milk, dragon fruit purée, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Sweeten to taste with agave or honey, cover, and refrigerate for about 3 hours or overnight until set.
Step 6: Once all puddings have set, spoon a layer of each flavor into 4 glasses, arranging them in any order you like.
Step 7: Garnish with edible flowers and a sprinkle of bee pollen before serving.

Tips & Variations

Use any plant-based milk you prefer if you want to vary the flavor.
Swap agave syrup with honey or maple syrup for different sweetness profiles.
Add fresh berries or toasted nuts on top for extra texture and flavor.
Make the pudding the night before to save time in the morning.

Storage

Store the prepared chia puddings in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep layered puddings in the serving glasses covered tightly with plastic wrap. Before serving, give them a gentle stir or add fresh toppings. No reheating needed—serve chilled for the best texture and taste.

FAQs

Can I use other types of milk for this recipe?

Yes, you can substitute almond milk with any plant-based or dairy milk according to your preference. Coconut milk, oat milk, or regular cow’s milk all work well and will slightly change the flavor and creaminess.

How long does it take for chia pudding to set?

Chia pudding usually takes at least 2 to 3 hours to thicken, but it’s best to refrigerate it overnight to ensure it fully sets and achieves a creamy texture.
