5 Reasons Why You’ll Love This Recipe

We’ve already given you one reason this blackberry dairy-free chia pudding recipe is fantastic – here are five more!

1. It’s Simple to Make and Great for Meal Prep

The real beauty of this recipe lies in its simplicity.

In just 5 – 10 minutes of prep time, you have a nutrient-rich snack, dessert, or small meal option for any time of day. And that's another great reason in itself! Anything you can prep the day before you need it – or even on Sunday afternoon before a busy week – gets bonus points from us!

2. It Ticks a Lot of Dietary Boxes

We've told you it's dairy-free in the title. Thanks to the other ingredients it can also be 100% vegan if you opt for maple syrup instead of honey as your sweetener. And while both honey and maple syrup should be naturally gluten-free, be sure to check the label of whichever you buy to ensure there's no risk of cross-contamination.

And the best thing about ticking all of these dietary boxes, whether they're down to preference or another need? Ticking them doesn't compromise the incredible tastes and textures you'll enjoy from your blackberry dairy-free chia pudding.

3. It’s Packed with Nutrients

We’ll talk about Cashew Milk shortly, so we will focus on the blackberries and chia seeds for now.

Blackberries are high in antioxidants and packed with vitamin C and fiber while contributing to your daily recommended intake of essential minerals like iron, calcium, and magnesium.

As for chia seeds, there’s a reason they feature in most things you’ll read about so-called “superfoods.” In addition to being high in fiber, chia seeds are rich in healthy omega-3 fatty acids and protein and are excellent for your digestive and overall gut health.

4. You Get Dairy Creaminess Without the Dairy

Cashew Milk is often the most popular Plant Milk to use in cooking because it looks and behaves like its dairy counterpart. Perhaps the most significant part of that is its rich and creamy nature, which you’d associate with recipes holding high amounts of dairy milk.

But instead of getting lactose, unhealthy fats, and animal hormones in your delicious dish, you get to enjoy way less fat and the beautiful subtle nutty taste of the cashews as a background to your blackberry dairy-free chia pudding.

5. You Can Easily Make It Your Own

Anyone who has spent time in the kitchen knows recipes are just a starting point.
