Instructions
- Prepare the honeydew puree: Blend the cubed honeydew melon with the lime juice and maple syrup (if using) until completely smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of water.
- Combine: In a medium bowl or jar, whisk together the chia seeds, the honeydew puree, and the almond milk until well incorporated. Ensure there are no clumps of chia seeds.
- First Rest: Let the mixture sit on the counter for 5 minutes, then whisk vigorously again. This prevents the chia seeds from settling at the bottom and clumping.
- Chill: Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours, or preferably overnight, until the pudding has reached a thick, gelatinous consistency.
- Serve: Before serving, give the pudding a final stir. If it is too thick, stir in a tablespoon of extra almond milk to loosen it.
- Garnish: Portion the pudding into serving bowls and top with chopped pistachios and hemp seeds for added texture and healthy fats.
Notes
This pudding is excellent for gut health due to the high fiber content from both the chia seeds and the melon. For a sweeter result, use slightly riper honeydew or add a few drops of liquid stevia instead of maple syrup. Best consumed within 3 days.
