Ingredients
- 1-2 1 large Ripe Nectarine or 2 small. It should be approximately 1 full cup when cut up into bite sizes. Put the pit into the compost.
- 2 tbsp Maple syrup
- 1/3 cup Chia seeds. I used the white chia seeds, but the black chia seeds can also be used.
- 1 1/3 cup Plant based milk unsweetened- Oat milk is good because of the creaminess.
Instructions
- In the mixing bowl, add the chia seeds, milk, and maple syrup. Use the whisk to blend well together. Cover the bowl or jar and place in the fridge to set for at least one hour. Chia seeds can also be left to set overnight.Stir again once the seeds have started to gel.
- Note: if your chia seeds do not start to gel and thicken by 30 minutes, you may have to purchase a new bag. This can happen in they've been sitting in your pantry a while. Store chia seeds in the fridge after they have been opened.
- Cut the nectarines in half, and pop out the pit. Cut away some of the center fibre from where the pit was sitting.Then cut the nectarines into slices, then into bite size chunks.
- In a medium size jar start to layer.Add 4 tbsp well rounded, of the chia pudding at the bottom. Then 1/3 cup of the sliced Nectarines. Repeat chia pudding, then 1/3 cup sliced nectarines.Repeat chia pudding, then the last 1/3 cup sliced nectarines.You can always just make it into 2 layers. Make it your own!

Notes
Chia Seeds are:
These are tiny edible seeds are from Chia plant. The seeds are water loving which means they absorb up to 12 x's their weight in liquid when soaked. They then develop a gel texture that is great for food or beverages. Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!
