This Rhubarb & Strawberry Chia Pudding is the perfect Summer vegan dessert but you can also eat it for breakfast. Sweetened with maple syrup and the natural sugars of fruits, it is really fresh and light.
The chia seeds need to rest in almond milk from 4 hours to overnight so make sure you plan ahead. Other than that, this recipe is really quick and straightforward. Chia seeds contain a lot of protein and calcium, so this little treat is actually really good for you.
You could vary the topping replacing the cacao nibs with some toasted almonds or nuts.
