This Orange Creamsicle Chia Pudding is a great way to start your day. It's not only easy but healthy as well. Chia seeds are highly nutritious. They are high in fiber, protein, and omega-3s.

Orange and vanilla are a match made in heaven. Whoever came up with the orange creamsicle was a genius. I remember eating creamsicles as a kid and loving the combo.

Chia pudding is the perfect vegan snack for road trips and traveling. You can travel with chia seeds on a plane and buy almond milk when you get to your destination. You can also travel with shelf-stable almond milk.

Add chopped fruit or peanut butter and you have breakfast. Since chia seeds are high in fiber and protein, you will feel satiated for a while.

Some chia seed recipes to try are my Banana Cream Pie Chia Pudding, Chia Pudding with Almonds, and Hibiscus Lemonade with Chia Seeds.

❤️ Why You'll Love It

This chia pudding has the flavors of a creamsicle.
It is simple and easy to make. You can make it the night before, making it perfect for busy mornings.
It is a hearty meal. Eat it for breakfast, a snack, or dessert.

🧾 Ingredients

Chia seeds: Get gelatinous when you add liquid to them.
Orange juice: I like to use freshly squeezed orange juice, but you could also use store-bought orange juice.
Almond milk: I like to use unsweetened almond milk so that I can control the amount of sweetness. You can also coconut milk, cashew milk, oat milk, or any dairy-free milk you like.
Vanilla extract: Enhances flavors.
Maple syrup: Adds sweetness. You could also use agave syrup or date paste.
Salt: Enhances sweetness. I like to use sea salt.
Fresh oranges: Use whatever variety of oranges you prefer.

💭 Tips

If you've never had chia pudding before, you may want to blend it in a high speed blender or Nutribullet for a traditional creamy pudding texture.
Taste as you go. You may want to start with less maple syrup to see how you like the sweetness.
Not into chia pudding after trying it? That's alright, just add it to a smoothie with your favorite ingredients.
