1 Bowl

Ingredients

4 tablespoons chia seeds
½ cup carrots grated
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
2 tablespoon raisins
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ cup unsweetened almond milk or any plant milk
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 tablespoons chopped walnuts for topping
2 tablespoons natural peanut butter for topping, optional

Instructions

In a bowl, combine all ingredients and mix well until smooth with no lumps.
4 tablespoons chia seeds, ½ cup carrots, 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup, 2 tablespoon raisins, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground ginger, ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
Chill the mixture in the fridge for at least 2 hours or overnight for a creamy, pudding-like texture.
Portion the pudding into individual containers and top with walnuts, extra carrots, raisins, and a spoonful of peanut butter if desired.
2 tablespoons chopped walnuts, 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter

Notes

Grate the carrots finely so they soften and blend smoothly into the pudding.
Store in the fridge for up to 5 days in individual containers for a quick grab-and-go breakfast or snack.
Adjust maple syrup to your taste or swap it with agave, coconut, or date syrup.
Raisins can be swapped for chopped dates, dried cranberries, or chopped apricots for a slightly different flavor and texture.
Feel free to adjust the spices to your taste, or try adding cardamom or allspice for a warm, aromatic twist.
For a protein-packed version, stir in a scoop of your favorite vegan protein powder.
