Melon, Kiwi and Jasmine Chia Seed Pudding


I have always been skeptical of chia seed puddings, because they could get too slimy. But when you use suitable fruits, the “slime factor” goes down, and the best thing about chia concoctions comes out – the diverse, fun texture! I found a recipe for strawberry and chamomile pudding, but I decided to make a green version of it – with honeydew melon and kiwi. The result is so insanely refreshing that it is more suitable as a summer “cooler” type of food than a winter comfort food, but oh well… just file the recipe for later. I blended a cup of coconut milk, half a small honeydew melon chopped and three kiwis. Added freshly grated ginger, maple syrup to taste. If you have jasmine extract use a couple of drops, if not boil half a cup of water and steep some jasmine tea in it. Add to the mix (be careful though – if the tea is caffeinated, this could change the taste of the pudding). Then, add 8-9 tablespoons of chia seeds, stir and refrigerate overnight. Top with vegan whipped cream if you desire, and some blanched almond slivers.
