Lemon chia pudding with dates recipe

Refreshing, omega 3 fatty acid and vitamin C rich, quick breakfast

The base of this lemon chia pudding are chia seeds that soak up liquids and create a pudding like yummyness.  This lemon chia pudding is a lovely, refreshing and satiating breakfast. I used sweet gooey dates to sweeten the pudding instead of sugar. The recipe is incredibly easy. You just mix everything together and wait until the mixture reaches the desired pudding like thickness.

Chia seeds are incredibly healthy, they contain plant protein, fibre, omega 3 fatty acids, calcium, magnesium and iron. The lemon alkalizes our body and provides vitamin C, while the iron rich, sweet, almost caramel tasting dates balance the tartness of the lemon.

I had a Matcha tea with my pudding. Matcha tee is a Japanese green tea which is a great option instead of coffee. I don’t drink coffee since years. During my pregnancies I developed and aversion to the smell and taste of coffee and I still don’t feel like starting to drink it again, therefore I wake myself up with various teas in the morning. They keep me alert for longer and I also don’t have the bad aftertaste and smell in my mouth that I had after drinking coffee.

Let’s see how to make this yummy chia pudding.

Lemon chia pudding with dates

Ingredients for 1 person

¼ cup oats

3 tbsp chia seed

dried dates, finely chopped

Lemon rind, lemon juice, stevia if needed

1 ½ cup water

Mix the ingredients (except the lemon juice) the previous night and put it into the fridge. In the morning add the lemon juice slowly, tasting it time and time again till you reach the tartness you like.

I usually forget to make it the night before, I’m not so organised (I just eat what I feel like eating in the morning)  so I use hot water. By the time the mixture cools down, it becomes a pudding. I give the lemon juice to it this time. The only disadvantage of this method is that your pudding is not going to be as cold as it would if you made it the night before. Although in winter it can be an advantage 😉 Or for those of you, who get up early but eat her breakfast late (like me), it can cool down completely.
