CHIA PUDDING WITH SEARED PLUMS
This Healthy Chia Pudding with Seared Plums is a delightful and nutritious treat that combines the creamy texture of chia seeds with the rich, caramelized flavour of seared plums. Chia seeds are a superfood, packed with omega-3 fatty acids, fibre, and protein, which help support heart health, digestion, and sustained energy. The seared plums add a natural sweetness and a dose of vitamin C, antioxidants, and fibre, making this dish both indulgent and nourishing. Whether enjoyed as a breakfast, snack, or dessert, this chia pudding offers a perfect balance of taste and nutrition, keeping you satisfied and energized throughout the day.

1-in a bowl, mix the chia seeds, plant-based milk and a pinch of cinnamon. Divide into 4 ramekins and place them in the fridge for at least 6 hours.
2-While you heat an iron skillet, wash the plums and cut them in half, removing the pit. Sprinkle the sugar and some cinnamon on each of them.
3-Once the skillet is hot, place the plums face down and let them sear for 10 minutes, flipping them halfway thought. Set aside until cool.

You can store the plain chia puddings in the fridge for up to 5 days, but I recommend adding the plums only prior to serve.
