Made chia pudding but didn’t thicken up ,I ate it anyway it was very good followed directions
This is great. I use frozen bananas and can eat it right away.
Can diabetics use stevia?
Yes, stevia does not contain sugar grams.
Oh my goodness this was good! You can whip it up in no time, put it in the fridge to set up, then have the delight of your life when you finally give it a try. I put the recipe away in 4 rather large containers, and that was a LOT to eat. I ended up just eating it for dinner that first night.
Is it normal to feel the seeds when you’re eating this or did I not mix it up enough?
If it’s normal, has anyone tried to strain the seeds out?
I love the chia seed texture and therefore I don’t process it in a blender at all.
The use of a high speed blender will eliminate the seed texture
I have tried cacoa powder before and it had a weird aftertaste. Is the powder you use different? Wish I could remember the name of the brand I tried! Is there a cocoa powder you would recommend? Thanks
I would recommend trying a different brand. All the products I use or prefer are highlighted in orange listed on the recipes. Click on them and it will take you to a link. You can also find the cacao listed under shop/ingredients.
I am not a chocolate fan and I LOVED this! It’s so easy to make and tastes divine! I used carob powder instead and it tasted so decadent!
The next morning, it’s even better. The pudding texture and taste is spot on. Pure yumminess
This is yummy out of the blender. I can’t wait to try it after it’s firmed up. Another great recipe! This will help with any chocolate cravings I have 🙂
Made this and shared some straight from the blender with my husbands friends that were working with him this weekend, one of them tore the paper cup in half to lick it clean!! It was yummy straight from the blender but it is AMAZING after its had time to firm up.
I loved being able to give this to my 3 yr old great niece this morning for breakfast with a cut up apple. My husband wants to put it on the frozen fruit I make with my Yonanas machine, that’ll be his dessert tonight!
Thanks again Julie for all these delicious yet nutritious recipes. 🙂
It is my pleasure! Thanks for giving them a try and writing great reviews!
Just tried the chia seed pudding for the second time and it was so delishus! Oh my goodness. This pudding is surely a crime to eat for someone trying to eat healthy but it isn’t so me and my family are going to enjoy this!
Hi,
I have never liked bananas. Any idea for a substitute? I lover your website and would love to try this recipe.
You could try using less ripe bananas. The riper they are the sweeter and stronger the banana flavor becomes. I haven’t tried this, but I think it would be delicious to use frozen pitted cherries. Defrost them before blending.
in the fridge now. the worst part about this treat. i will be a happiest girl in the morning.
OK. I did make it per video and enjoyed it but will try the printed version next time.
Just signed up for your PD Classes starting next week. Thank you!
Hi,
The video recipe shows you using 2 bananas but the printed version shows 4..? Also the vanilla extract measurement in the video is 1 tablespoon but the printed shows 1 teaspoon… I want to make sure I do it right. Thinking of doing the video version but just thought I’d run it by you to confirm.
Thanks!
I have made some improvements in the printed recipe since the video was shot. I apologize for any confusion. I recommend always following the printed recipe.
Hi Julie, Can almond milk be used in place of the soymilk? Speaking of soy, please see link from Gabriel Cousens regarding soy consumption.

Thanks again for the great recipe!

You can swap out any plant based milk in this recipe. I do recommend organic whole food (unprocessed) soy products on a Protective Diet. Soy milk such as west soy organic unsweetened plain contains only organic soy beans and water. All other plant baseds milks are full of additives, presevitaves, thickeners and sugar. Check you labels. Making your own would be best if you are avoiding soy. I recommend organic rice milk and have a simple recipe to make it. Thanks for the article and I agree we should look for non GMO and organically grown soy. There are reduction in cancer risks associated with the consumption of unprocessed soy. It is a beans and beans are good. Here’s my favorite resource http://www.pcrm.org/health/health-topics/soy-and-your-health
Confirmed! – Trader Joes carries Chia Seeds…. they said that they are a “superfood” – high in protein, very popular. But I’m sure you knew that. 🙂
thanks for explaining that Julie. Wondering if Trader Joes or Whole Foods carries it. I will call before driving over.
Hi – if I made this recipe without the chia seeds would the pudding still have the right consistency?
The chia seeds are the thickening component in this pudding recipe. When chia are blended with a liquid they gel and thicken. If you make this without them it will be too thin and runny.
This was worth waiting for. Yummy!!
I did half the recipe to taste first. I wish I would’ve done a whole one! thanks for another delicious recipe!! ( drink half of it! I couldn’t wait to chill a whole night in the fridge!
That happened to me the first day to! I ended up eating it and not waiting to wait! haha I love the pudding and the Frosty!
I ate this recipe yesterday and it was awesome! It makes a lot to good for the whole family! My kids love it! I am just glad I can make things that are good for them and they enjoy!
