FIT BANANA CHIA PUDDING RECIPE

 Banana Chia Pudding Recipe

A delicious and healthy snack, breakfast, or dessert, this fit banana chia pudding is easy to make with just a few simple ingredients. It's packed with fiber, protein, and healthy fats, making it a nutritious choice to power your day.

Ingredients:

• 2 ripe bananas, mashed

• 1/4 cup chia seeds

• 1 cup milk (plant-based or dairy)

• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

• Pinch of salt

• Honey, maple syrup, or other sweetener to taste (optional)

Instructions:

1. Mash the bananas: In a medium bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until mostly smooth. A few small lumps are okay.

2. Combine all ingredients: Add the chia seeds, milk, vanilla extract, salt, and sweetener (if using) to the mashed bananas. Stir everything together until well combined.

3. Refrigerate and set: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. This gives the chia seeds time to absorb the liquid and plump up, creating a pudding-like consistency.

4. Stir before serving: Before serving, give the pudding a good stir. You might find it has thickened significantly. If it's too thick, you can stir in a little extra milk until you reach your desired consistency.

5. Add toppings: Serve the banana chia pudding with your favorite toppings. Great options include:

• Fresh fruit: sliced bananas, berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries), kiwi, etc.

• Nuts and seeds: sliced almonds, chopped walnuts, pumpkin seeds, hemp seeds, etc.

• Granola for a bit of crunch.

• A drizzle of honey or maple syrup.

• A sprinkle of cinnamon or cocoa powder.

• Coconut flakes.
