Banana Chia Pudding

Preparation Time: 30 mints

Serves No. Of People: 4

INGREDIENTS

Chia seeds help in weight loss and digestion, and are a rich source of omega 3 and antioxidants

Ingredients:

Coconut milk (preferable light, else pudding may harden)
Chia seeds
Bananas
Vanilla essence
Cinnamon powder
Grapes (or any fresh fruits)
Almonds (or any nuts like pistas and walnuts)
Jaggery sugar

METHOD

Mash 2 bananas. Add 5 tbsp of chia seeds, 1.5 cups of coconut milk, 1/2 tsp of vanilla essence and 1/4 tsp of cinnamon powder and mix well. Taste it to check is sweetness is right, else add some more. Transfer in dessert cups and refrigerate for a minimum of 20 minutes to upto 6-8 hours or overnight. (Longer the better to get a pudding consistency).

For fruit topping, chop all the fresh fruits, be it berries, kiwi, papaya or any other fruit you like, and keep ready.

For nuts topping, caramelise small pieces of almonds (pistas, walnuts, your choice) by heating 1 tsps of jaggery sugar and 1 tsp of water and adding the nuts for just a minute. When you take them out from the pan, spread them on a plate else they will stick together.

Once you are ready to serve the Banana Chia Pudding, take it out from the refrigerator, top it with a layer of fresh fruits and caramelised nuts. I have added grapes and almonds.

Enjoy!

(Tips: If you are not too fond of bananas, replace them with maple syrup 1-2 tsp, stevia, or any other form of sugar that you like. Also you can replace coconut milk with almond or any other dairy-free milk)
