Do you love chia pudding? Then, spice up your next custard pot with aromatic chai milk tea for a fun and delicious breakfast. That’s how it’s done!
Starting with the classic custard recipe of chia seeds and milk, this chai chia pudding uses Indian masala chai tea to infuse the milk with warmth, flavor and color.
Masala Chai is one of the most popular teas in India. It’s made with Assam black tea and a blend of warming spices, including cinnamon, ginger, cardamom and black pepper.
You can find masala chai as handy tea bags that you can infuse with hot oat milk to make a vegan chai milk tea base for the chia pudding.
Once that’s sorted, let the chia seeds work their magic and make your pudding thick and jelly-like!
The fibers in chia seeds have the power to absorb liquids (in this case, our fragrant chai-flavored milk) and trap them in a web, creating that creamy pudding we all love.
And these same fibers are amazing for your health too. You will feel full longer, prevent cravings and keep your cholesterol under control!
In addition, chia seeds provide plant-based proteins, omega-3, iron, and calcium, while masala chai spices have powerful anti-inflammatory, blood-sugar-regulating, and metabolism-boosting properties.
Simply put, this chai tea chai pudding is as good for you as it is delicious. And if you like, you can round it off with our healthy topping ideas for a hearty breakfast or a power snack.
