Description

Morir Soñando blended with chia pudding for a breakfast that fills you with fiber and sweet, creamy orange nostalgia.

Ingredients

Scale

Chia Seed Pudding

  • 1/2 cup high-protein plant-based yogurt or skyr, 135g
  • 2 tsp orange zest
  • 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice (about 1-2 navel oranges)
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 2 tbsp agave syrup
  • 1 tsp Dominican vanilla or vanilla paste/extract
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 3/4 cup non-dairy evaporated milk
  • 1/3 cup chia seeds, 57g

Coconut Date Crumble

  • 3 tbsp rolled oats, 16g
  • 2-3 pitted medjool dates, 40g
  • 2 tbsp coconut flakes, 8g
  • 2 tbsp raw cashews, 16g
  • 1 tsp orange zest
  • 1/2 tsp Dominican vanilla or vanilla paste/extract
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Add the yogurt, orange zest, orange juice, and lime to a blender cup and blend for a minute using an immersion blender. Add the agave, vanilla, and salt then begin blending again. Slowly pour in the evaporated milk while blending until fully incorporated. Taste the blended milk and adjust with additional sweetener or salt as needed.
  2. Stir in the chia seeds, making sure they are evenly mixed into the milk. Cover and place in the fridge for 10 minutes, so that the chia seeds can begin blooming. Give the chia seeds another good stir, breaking up any noticeable clumps in the mixture. Cover again, and place in the fridge overnight to fully gel.
  3. To a mini food processor, add the oats, medjool dates, coconut flakes, cashews, orange zest, vanilla, and salt. Pulse the ingredients together until you get a uniform crumbly mixture. This can be stored in the fridge until ready to use.
  4. To assemble, portion out the chia seed mixture into a bowl or jar, then top with the crumble and enjoy.

Notes

Check the expiration date for your chia seeds. Chia seeds can get old, and when they do they stop gelling as effectively. Make sure they haven’t hit their best buy date to ensure that your pudding actually thickens.

Keep your ingredients cold. Mixing citrus with milk can often times make it split especially at room temperature. So make sure to refrigerate after blending to achieve the best texture.

If you are new to fiber, start slow. Going from 0 fiber to this chia pudding can be overwhelming to your gut especially for someone not used to getting fiber. Instead of a meal, consider serving a smaller portion of this (about 2 tbsp) as a snack and see how you feel. If feeling good, slowly add a little more. To prevent constipation, make sure you are drinking enough water daily when increasing fiber.

Control the sugar. Feel free to use more or less sweetener based on your personal preference. Sugar alternatives can also work if you really want that punch of sweetness.
