Ingredients notes

Oranges – its the ultimate source of vitamin c and is loaded with antioxidants. It high in fiber and bring out a nice flavor in this recipe.

Coconut flakes – I used the unsweetened version of it to keep the sugar content as low as possible in this vegan chia pudding.

Maple syrup – its a a healthier sweetener and is sugar free. I like the overall flavor of maple syrup in this chia pudding recipe.

Coconut milk – I used tetra pack coconut milk here to lighten it up. You may use canned coconut milk but lightened and unsweetened one.

Orange extract – It helps in flavoring this recipe a little strongly and enhances its aroma as well.

Chia seed – its a vegan superfood that is high in protein and fiber. it helps in forming a jelly like pudding texture and is very versatile.

Fresh squeezed Orange juice in a strainer.

Afterwards, I blended all the ingredients (orange juice, coconut milk, coconut flakes, orange extract and orange zest) in the blender except chia seeds.

Lastly, I vigorously whipped up chia seeds in the blended coconut orange juice and let it rest in the refrigerator overnight.

    I am definitely going to try this, but rather than orange extract can I sub that for an orange infused Olive oil?

      Yes, Brandi you may switch to orange infused olive oil but be careful of the measurements so that the pudding is not bitter.
