![]() By the way, my daily go to with chia is either in my coconut milk/protein shake or mixed in greek yogurt and then used with sliced banana on my G/F cereal as a breakfast "parfait". Can this be used in recipes as a substitute for the canned coconut milk? Will it have the same texture and thickening properties? Would love to try your chia pudding recipes with it but would rather hear from you first before possibly wasting a bunch of chia seed. I am using So Delicious brand vanilla and chocolate coconut milks in the quart size non-refrigerated containers. To serve, add a little drizzle of milk or honey, if needed, then top with remaining almonds and any other desired goodies. Refrigerate at least 30-40 minutes, up to overnight. Transfer to a jar or container and cover. I was diagnosed as hypothyroid at age 21, am now 68 and still struggling with it, and I'm just getting into G/F, organic, dairy free, etc. Stir to combine, then taste and add additional almond extract, honey, or milk as desired. What a WONDERFUL site.looking forward to lots more exploring and learning from you :) I have a quick question for you re: using coconut milk in recipes. Hi Carrie, just found your site thru Facebook ( Easy Stovetop G/F Mac 'N Cheese recipe ), and did a little exploring. We use real organic vanilla and local honey for a balanced sweetness and aroma that reminds us of premium vanilla ice cream. It’s great with berries, a little whipped cream or chocolate shavings. If you refrigerate the pudding, make sure to leave it out for about 15 minutes to take the chill off. I prefer to eat it at room temperature because when it’s chilled, the texture becomes a bit too gelatinous. This pudding has a mousse-like consistency and only takes a few minutes to mix together. There are lots of ways to play with these little gems! You can make this pudding with milk, cream, almond milk, honey instead of maple syrup, stevia, etc. I played around with different measurements, and I prefer 1 1/2 cups of coconut milk to 1/3 cup chia seed. I couldn’t find any information about the smoking point of chia oil, but I don’t think I’ll use them to cook or bake with since I’m not sure if the oils would break down and oxidize like flaxseed oil when subjected to heat. ![]() Chia seeds don’t need to be ground up like flaxseeds in order for the body to absorb their nutrients. They also contain protein, fiber and some antioxidants. They have a neutral flavor and while they cost a bit more than other seeds, it doesn’t take many to create an interesting effect.Ĭhia seeds are high in omega-3 fatty acids and contain alpha-linoleic acid (ALA) and linoleic acid (LA). They absorb lots of liquid and turn very gelatinous. The tiny little seeds look a bit like exotic black and white swirled eggs from up close. Chia seeds have gotten a lot of buzz lately for their health benefits and ease of use, so I’m sharing this easy chia seed pudding recipe.
