Am I missing something, or could your proportions be off? For 1/2c. milk, you use 2 tbsp chia. Multiply both sides by 4, to maintain the proportions, and 2c milk should get 8 tbsp chia. That's 1/2 c. of chia. You say you're using 1/4 c.
@Doc Atheist Hi there - I believe I did say 1/2 cup of chia seeds in the video when I discuss the batch prepping portion. Can you tell me where it was stated as 1/4 cup of chia?
I'm a teacher and I have to say that you are an excellent teacher. The way you presented the recipes, from speaking slowly and clearly, to writing out the instructions, and showing everything step by step--those are all the best teacher practices that I have been taught. This was awesome to watch, thank you!
Wow, thank you so much for the amazingly kind words! This is actually one of the best comments I've received here and it made my day, so I really appreciate it. I always try to present the information in the most accessible way I can to make it easily digestible for anyone - even someone with zero cooking experience. So it's incredibly rewarding to hear those comments coming from a teacher :) Thank you so much!
I agree as well! Your videos are excellent, Toasty Apron. Perfectly paced, great angles, good non-invasive music and really nice narration. Smooth and friendly. I love that your videos show several ways to use an ingredient, such as oat flour or chia seeds. You give the base recipe, then repeat it in brief for every iteration. I think this locks the idea in peoples’ minds and encourages not only confidence but also experimentation. Plus, you talk about related things, like the tools of cooking, serving and storing. New subscriber!
Dyslexic here, your voice is soothing, your information easy to understand and concise. And because you repeated the base each time I was able to retain it as I can learn well with both visuals and repetition. Thanks so much! I’m going to make this for my husband and myself using real dark chocolate chips 😋
I absolutely love the way you teach. I get really frustrated with long videos and a lot of unnecessary talking...Your videos are perfect! Thank you 😊 Many blessings
Thank you so much for the kind comments! They really do mean a lot. I'm so glad you enjoy the teaching/presentation format and that you find it helpful 😀 Appreciate the support!
This is the type of information I need!!! Instead of using 3 tablespoons whole chia, I could whizz in the spice grinder and cut those calories in half, 1.5 tablespoons for the same thickness, love it.
I've always failed at chia pudding because I was unaware of the "5 minute rest and repeat" rule. Thank you for that vital piece of info. Now I'm about to make chia pudding a staple in my diet again!
For sure! Yes that step is super important to make sure the chia pudding gets mixed together properly and to prevent clumping :) Thanks so much for watching, I'm glad you found the video helpful!
I make cashew milk for my chia pudding. 1 cup raw cashews covered with water refrigerated over night. Drain next morning, dump in blender and add 4 cups water and 1-3 seeded dates. Blend on high for 2 minutes. I top the chia pudding with fresh berries. Love it.
Wait, am I missing something here. So 1 cup of raw cashew is over 700 cal. Im not trying to consuming 1000 calories in 1 small bowl of pudding. That is insane.
If you try cutting back on the sweetener little by little, you eventually may not need any more sweetener at all, the fruit will be plenty sweet for you as it is! I went nearly "cold turkey" on sugar for this past month and I have been shocked at how sweet fruit tastes to me now. I can barely stand cakes and cookies anymore; which is insane because I was eating 6 cookies per day for a while lol. And YES I went through intense sugar withdrawals. It took one and a half weeks to overcome.
My husband and I went on carnivore for a few months and it personally helped me with regulating sugar and learning to read labels and be more intentional with what I put in my body. Little by little I began adding things bacj in to my diet. Hope this helps! @@sim5781
Only way is really to do it cold turkey. It will take about 10 days before the sugar urge wear of and you need to know going into it that those days will absolutly suck. But afterwards any fruit you eat will become increadibly tasty and sweet while normal dessert food will feel like to much sugar.
I totally agree! They're such a great time saver, and because they're already pre-ripened, they taste great right out of the bag. Frozen peaches and pineapples are two of my other favs as well!
And where I live, it’s hard to get really good mangoes because they have to pick them too early, like I used to get in Puerto Rico…so the frozen ones are ripe and taste amazing!
This is actually a brilliant video recently been diagnosed type 2 diabetic and I'm on a huge weight loss journey and these are absolutely fantastic I love the different recipes I was in a blind spot so thank you from me❤
I've heard of chia pudding and I eat chia seeds with vanilla ice cream (believe it or not) but I never realized how easy chia pudding could be until now. You've really inspired me. Thank you.
I don't think I ever tried making Chia Pudding at home, but I have watched some videos, yours is the best I have watched so far. I will try attempt to make a few options and see how successful they get for my family. Thanks for posting.
Wow, thank you so much for saying that - I really appreciate it! I'm glad you enjoyed it and inspired you to give it a try - it's delicious and so simple (and feel free to check out my Overnight Oats video as well for another easy meal prep!). Thanks for watching!
My wife had just sent me this video, I was totally unaware that you're supposed to let it sit for 5 minutes and then stir again. And so everytime that I have tried anything with Chia seeds in the past they always got soaked lumpy and I've never enjoyed them so much. But this has helped tremendously! And the recipes are great! I made my own little recipe with some banana peanut butter honey and some heavy cream with water and it came out wonderful! Thank you again for the video!
That's amazing! I'm so happy to hear that. Yes I find that step is so critical in making sure they don't clump up together - I always love how such a small tiny tweak can make such a big difference to a recipe. I'm glad you found it helpful - thank you so much for watching!
Be aware of consuming too much chia pudding ! Only eat as part of a properly balanced diet. Be sure to drink plenty of water if you consume it every day.
@@chelseaandhobbesI almost died. Ate too much. It clumped up in my intestines into a size of a big apple. I could barely passed it through. I literally almost died from my colon bursting. I didn't touch chia seeds forc10y from fear. Now, I eat only 1/2 cup of it few times a month.
Thank you for sharing! 😋 My go to are more overnight oats with chia seeds in it. I use a mix of oats, chia seeds, soy vanilla protein powder, soy milk and sweetener. I have sweeteners with different tastes, and I love caramel and maple flavor. I have berries and sometimes passion fruit on top 😋 I mostly goes for the one over here, but a cafe in my town has layers of raspberries/strawberries purée and mango or passion fruit purée, and one with chocolate pudding and peanut butter on top 😋 I have made with vegan Nutella in or on top too at home. There are so many yummy ways to eat this, and I eat one everyday 🥰😋 Thanks again! Johanne, Norway 🇳🇴
Thanks so much for watching and for sharing! You're absolutely right, there are so many ways to enjoy this and be creative with different flavours. I'll have to try some of the ones you mentioned (and I love passion fruit!)
I love chia pudding. I started doing it with greek yoghurt instead of milk and it comes out so creamy. I definitely need to try out the mango and the apple one though
Awesome! I hope you enjoy making the mango and apple ones - they're two of my favs! And subbing greek yogurt instead of milk is a great tip for extra creaminess. Thanks for watching :)
If you don't like the seed texture, use ground chia for a smooth recipe. You can buy it pre-ground or just grind it in a coffee grinder or blender, before using in your recipe! 🙂👍
Thanks so much for this video. I have made chia pudding several times but never used this precise ratio and I think it will work much better. Also I like that you showed us how to make a big batch in a large bowl for the base and then different flavors. Thank you. 🎉
I love this recipes. I tried once chia seeds soaked on coconut milk (ealrir this year) and I have always wanted to replicated it. I added just almond flakes and blueberries and tasted delicious. Now these elevate chia seeds, to another level. Subscribed!
I do 1/2-1c siggis or Greek yogurt, 1/2 c almond milk and add fruit and chia. All your recipies look amazing I just have to leave out the sweetness . I have learned tho per autumn bates to sautee my fruit in small amount vanilla bean ghee or coconut butter and I add tiny dab of honey. Amazing
I'm starting work from tomorrow and it's gonna be a looong day. I wanted to make chia pudding for breakfast and this gave me a great idea on how to start. Thanks!
And if you use a neutral flavor sweetener instead of maple (such as agave) and the add a little real vanilla extract to the base mixture, it taste almost exactly like smooth tapioca pudding. To get an exact match on real tapioca pudding flavor, you would have to used cane sugar. But I think the idea here is to avoid that in the diet.
These are awesome ideas. Look so delicious. I used chia seeds long time, I just mix them with green tea; never think about it like these. Thank you so much for sharing! I definitely follow these. 🌹👍💕
Made 6 of them last week and they were delicious. Will be doing so again this weekend with some lemon zest. Thanks for these simple, yet yummy healthy puddings.
I rarely if ever put a sweetener in my chia pudding. It tastes great on its own (I use pea-based milk the most). Having said that, I thank you for your ideas on the various puddings. I'll certainly try them.
Amazing! I'm always so happy to hear when a simple tip (like the 5 min resting period) helps a viewer out so much. Thanks for watching and for the support!
I used to make chia pudding several years back - have no idea why I stopped but coming across your video gives me inspiration to give each one of the recipes a try! Thanks for sharing.
Awesome to hear! I'm glad it inspired you to go back to them - they're such a great breakfast/snack to make. Hope you enjoy giving it a try! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for this. Trying to get my veg and fruit and fibers in while i have trouble eqting enough. I like chia pudding so these will motivate me to enjoy my foods more again. Thanks!
Awesome! Enjoy topping them with some fun ingredients - I'd love to hear what you come with and how it turns out for you! Thanks for watching and for giving it a try!
Hey there, is there anyway you could create some videos covering the topic of Make Ahead and then Freeze for Convenience meal prep ideas? I am really interested in ways to spend say an entire weekend prepping and freezing portioned proteins etc and then having a simple dinner by just grabbing parts from the freezer. I would love to see your take on this type of prep. Thanks for the amazing content otherwise.
Absolutely! That's a fantastic idea for a future video. I do have a video on this topic with meal prepping Quinoa Power Bowls, if you're interested feel free to check it out! ua-cam.com/video/AlSvyLG1etI/v-deo.html
Really I was looking the recipe to use Chia seed and your presentation has fulfilled my need. Since I am a diabetic so I will adjust these as per my needs. Thanks for loading
I tried this today and it was scrumptious! Of course instead of maple syrup I used a dash of vanilla syrup which is not the healthiest option but omg it was good. I will be exploring combinations. Thanks for the inspiration!
Wow! I'm just so happy to accidentally saw this video. I had this the first time in my life in New Zealand on every breakfast. I liked it so much but didn't know how they did them. Now I can share it with my friends. Thank you.
It's been so long since I made chia pudding, I used to have it all the time. I will try out some of your amazing recipes, thank you for yet another great video!
I make my own milks, oat, hemp, nuts, etc. So I was thrilled to watch your recipes! I have made chia puddings before, and liked them, but your recipes have created a spark in me!! I usually layer chia seeds with fresh or dried fruit, or a combo - try dried seeded dates and a crisp apple😍
That's so amazing to hear! Thank you so much for the kind words - I'm happy that the recipes have created a spark in you to continue exploring and trying new things! Dates and a crisp apple sound delicious :)
Amazing! I love hearing that 😀 thanks so much for giving it a try and sharing how it went for you - I hope you'll give the other recipes a try as well!
Thank you for your recipes. I made your recipe with pineapple juice instead of milk and then the next day I topped it with fresh pineapple and Cocoa Lopez coconut cream. OMG so good.
Thank you for this amazing recipes. When I watched it, I immediately wanted to make this recipes. 1 o'clock at night. I tried 3 different recipes, we will taste it with my husband tomorrow morning, but I can already smell amazing. I loved your sweet pumpkin and apple recipes!
I usually make overnight oats with lots of chia seeds, but now I will try the pudding. I think chocolate, coconut, and almond would be great, like an Almond Joy. Yum.
Love this video! I have seen many videos of making chia pudding but I never tried it, but I DEFINITELY going to try these starting today. I just love the combinations that you used here. I also going to try with yogurt like one of the comments here.❤❤
Amazing, I'm so glad to hear that! Blended frozen berries are such a refreshing, delicious and healthy ingredient, and doesn't really ever feel like eating fruits :) Thanks so much for watching!
Love your creations here. Your voice makes the video relaxingly attractive, videography is perfect, and the written recipes makes it much easier to follow.
Thank you so much for the support! I appreciate the comments and feedback - it's always so great to hear when people enjoy the presentation of the content. Thanks for watching!
He definitely could do TV commercial voiceovers. Thank you for these recipes. I hope the kids like them. I need the chia seeds to fill those hollow legs. 😂🤣 Also, I love how you give a list of ingredients. New sub!
@@toastyapron Serious word of warning. Another channel I listen to... he got ripped off. He signed a contract and they now own his voice! I hear it on a lot of commercials. Get a very good acting lawyer to assure you are protected.
I had been seeing chia seeds in the grocery but I had never bought coz I don't know how to consume it. I am so glad I saw your easy prep video on chia seeds. 💖💖 It's so enticing and it does look so good and healthy! I'm excited to buy the ingredients on my next grocery shopping.🥰🥰
Hi there! Yes chia seeds are amazing for both their nutrition and convenience - once you know how to use and prep them! Thanks for watching and hope you enjoy making the recipes!
I made chia pudding and the next day the chia seeds were all at the top hard. Thank you for the 5 minute tip 🙏🏽 😀 I'm gonna try again! These look amazing 👏🏽 🤩
No problem at all! It's a super important tip that I thought was important to highlight - I hope it helps improve the texture of yours the next time you give it a try! I'd love to hear how it turns out 😀 Thanks for watching!
Great video! I love chia seed pudding for breakfast. I have just put together my own recipe and make it on repeat. You have given me so many new ideas. I'm excited to try some of them. Thx!
Glad I found your channel. I used to eat chia pudding all the time before the pandemic ,and then after seeing your video I will be making it again now that I remember how good chia seeds are for you and the different ways you can have it.
Thank you so much for watching! I agree, chia pudding is amazing in so many ways - convenient, nutritious and so versatile, it's something I quickly whip up often, just to have ready to grab-and-go anytime (and saves me from munching on a bag of chips or a bowl of ice cream!)
That’s awesome… I do the frozen berries… love that you added coconut. I love mangos so I use the frozen mangos in the winter. Like all your flavours and I’ll try them… I travel for work and they’re awesome. Thank you for sharing . 💐
Thank you love it when recipes are simple because who has time for complicated recipes. I think I am going to try them all to see which ones I like best.
I made your mango and coconut chia pudding. I caught a small taste and it catapulted me straight to a tropical island. A little mini-vacay. I also experimented with a peanut butter and jelly idea by adding pb2, maple syrup, and homemade oat milk(SO much cheaper homemade) to the base, then blending it extra well(this one will get chunky without the extra five minute blend, no doubt), and layering the pudding with a strawberry preserve. It's nostalgic and tasty, and this pregnant lady is now ready to tackle her next few days' worth of cravings!
First time I’ve ever had a “healthy” breakfast and felt happy, satisfied, and didn’t end up in a binge cycle! Felt like dessert for breakfast, but without the guilt! How I did it: Cup of milk::3 tablespoons of chia 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract Honey Cinnamon Frozen berries!
I've loved chia seed pudding since forever and I didn't want to pay dollars for a small portion in cafes. So I made my own too! But I have a thing for savory desserts and if you have the same taste buds, try topping it with peanut butter, granola and pretzel biscuits!
They're so much better and more cost effective to make at home! Thanks so much for watching, and I'll definitely have to give that PB/granola/pretzel combo a try!
I'm so glad it helped inspire you to experiment with different flavour combinations! Chia pudding can be so fun to play around with and be creative with. Thanks for watching, have fun!
Absolutely love chia pudding. It’s hard to pick a favorite, mango is definitely delicious and we love the berry, pumpkin. This is our mid afternoon snack, before a very light dinner
I enjoyed this video, it inspired me to start making chia pudding again. I'll try each of these. My son loves chocolate so I made a chocolate one, with oat milk, pumpkin seed protein powder, maple syrup, cocao powder, vanilla extract, cinnamon and sun butter.
Amazing! That sounds like a delicious combination of ingredients :) Thanks so much for watching and hope you enjoy experimenting with different recipes!
Thank you so much for watching and for the kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and hope they make your weekly breakfast routine a little tastier and more convenient!
These recipes as well as your overnight oat recipes look so delicious, I'm definitely going to have to try them. I like my chia seed pudding with agave nectar vanilla and lemon zest and then top with berries.
Can garnish these puddings with chopped (pre soaked)almonds, walnuts , flax seeds and pumpkin seeds for omega 3 requirement. The crunchiness is soooo good
Lol, ripperoni. 😂 Well this is a good challenge opportunity to use it to help you get over it! No time to kick fear in it's ass so you can live a better life. You do you though! 😁💪👊☯️🤟☮️🤙

Soak dates in water until tender, blend with water to create a date paste. Delicious natural sweetener.
Mmm, I love date paste - that's a great suggestion! Thanks for watching!

Grind the chias first. Much better tasting and texture. I love chia pudding since i started doing this.
Same here. The 5 minute rule made my pudding so much better.
The jars with the pudding in them look so pretty.
Thank you! I love those mason jars too 😀
I make cashew milk for my chia pudding. 1 cup raw cashews covered with water refrigerated over night. Drain next morning, dump in blender and add 4 cups water and 1-3 seeded dates. Blend on high for 2 minutes. I top the chia pudding with fresh berries. Love it.
Awesome! Great recipe tips - thanks so much for sharing and for watching, that sounds delish!

I was literally just thinking about this... Thank you for the tip. Be well.
They say that our bodies can only make use of the healthy components in
chia seeds when they are ground.
WOW! what an idea, I will today
This is such a great idea, as I like the flavor but can't stand the texture and I don't wanna lose our on all these health benefits - much obliged!

Tapioca is how I think of it. I soak it then cook like oatmeal and a tablespoon of cream on top. Very filling.

That's a great tip! I'll have to give that a try as I love the taste of tapioca pudding. Thanks for sharing!
I adore tapioca pudding. Thanks!
Mounkfruit is a great sweetener very low in calorie
Maple syrup is healthier then agave syrup.
These are awesome ideas. Look so delicious. I used chia seeds long time, I just mix them with green tea; never think about it like these. Thank you so much for sharing! I definitely follow these. 🌹👍💕
Made 6 of them last week and they were delicious. Will be doing so again this weekend with some lemon zest. Thanks for these simple, yet yummy healthy puddings.
Fantastic! I'm so glad you were able to make them and enjoyed them as well! Thank you for watching and for giving them a try! 🙂
This is exactly what I needed for healthy snacks. Thanks so much
I'm so glad to hear you found the video helpful! Thanks so much for watching!
I rarely if ever put a sweetener in my chia pudding. It tastes great on its own (I use pea-based milk the most). Having said that, I thank you for your ideas on the various puddings. I'll certainly try them.
Thanks so much for watching!
Excellent video! I have also failed at chia pudding because of that 5 min resting period so kudos to you for this profound info! Love it ❤
Amazing! I'm always so happy to hear when a simple tip (like the 5 min resting period) helps a viewer out so much. Thanks for watching and for the support!
I used to make chia pudding several years back - have no idea why I stopped but coming across your video gives me inspiration to give each one of the recipes a try! Thanks for sharing.
Awesome to hear! I'm glad it inspired you to go back to them - they're such a great breakfast/snack to make. Hope you enjoy giving it a try! Thanks for watching!

This is exactly what I needed for healthy snacks. Thanks so much. I love making it with almond, coconut or concentrated milk .
Awesome, great to hear! Those are great milk choices. Thanks so much for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Amazing!!!! I'm racing to the kitchen right away !!!!!
Awesome!! Good luck and enjoy giving them a try!
Hey there, is there anyway you could create some videos covering the topic of Make Ahead and then Freeze for Convenience meal prep ideas? I am really interested in ways to spend say an entire weekend prepping and freezing portioned proteins etc and then having a simple dinner by just grabbing parts from the freezer. I would love to see your take on this type of prep. Thanks for the amazing content otherwise.
Absolutely! That's a fantastic idea for a future video. I do have a video on this topic with meal prepping Quinoa Power Bowls, if you're interested feel free to check it out! ua-cam.com/video/AlSvyLG1etI/v-deo.html
Really I was looking the recipe to use Chia seed and your presentation has fulfilled my need. Since I am a diabetic so I will adjust these as per my needs. Thanks for loading
Glad you found the video helpful! Thanks for watching!
I tried this today and it was scrumptious! Of course instead of maple syrup I used a dash of vanilla syrup which is not the healthiest option but omg it was good. I will be exploring combinations. Thanks for the inspiration!
Amazing! I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed it - vanilla syrup is definitely worth indulging over :) Thanks so much for watching!
Chia Pudding gehört zu meinen absoluten Frühstücks-Favoriten
Wow! I'm just so happy to accidentally saw this video. I had this the first time in my life in New Zealand on every breakfast. I liked it so much but didn't know how they did them. Now I can share it with my friends. Thank you.
Thank you so much for watching! I'm so glad you found it helpful in bringing chia pudding back into your life! :)
It's been so long since I made chia pudding, I used to have it all the time. I will try out some of your amazing recipes, thank you for yet another great video!
Thank you so much again for watching Luiza! I'm glad you enjoyed it and hope you'll be able to try out some of these recipes!
Wao bahut hi zabardast ki receipe hai nice cooking
Toast coconut flakes and nuts takes it to another new level!😊
Yum! Great tip on toasting the coconut flakes and nuts. Thanks for sharing and for watching!
I make my own milks, oat, hemp, nuts, etc. So I was thrilled to watch your recipes! I have made chia puddings before, and liked them, but your recipes have created a spark in me!! I usually layer chia seeds with fresh or dried fruit, or a combo - try dried seeded dates and a crisp apple😍
That's so amazing to hear! Thank you so much for the kind words - I'm happy that the recipes have created a spark in you to continue exploring and trying new things! Dates and a crisp apple sound delicious :)
Stay away from oat milk..spikes your blood sugar, it’s concentrated carbs.. stick with coconut milk instead
I just made the chocolate banana, the mango coconut, and a variation of the berry one. I took a nibble of each and they taste delicious. Thank you
Amazing! I love hearing that 😀 thanks so much for giving it a try and sharing how it went for you - I hope you'll give the other recipes a try as well!
I made the Mango coconut, it made my lunch at work more special ❤
I'm so glad to hear that! Thanks so much for sharing, and for watching - I'm happy you enjoyed the video and the recipe!
Thank you! This was the video that finally got me to make my own chia seed pudding and I'm loving it!
That's awesome to hear! Thanks for giving chia pudding a try - I'm glad to hear you're loving it as much as I do!
Best chia puddjng ive ever had was a blended young coconut with vanilla then add blacjberries as a topping
Yum! That sounds delicious :)
Thank you for your recipes. I made your recipe with pineapple juice instead of milk and then the next day I topped it with fresh pineapple and Cocoa Lopez coconut cream. OMG so good.
Awesome! That sounds delicious - I'm glad it worked out for you! Thanks for sharing and for watching!
Just started using chia seeds this week. Your recipes are most helpful.
Thank you so much! Chia seeds are amazing - I'm glad you found this video helpful!
Thank you for this amazing recipes. When I watched it, I immediately wanted to make this recipes. 1 o'clock at night. I tried 3 different recipes, we will taste it with my husband tomorrow morning, but I can already smell amazing. I loved your sweet pumpkin and apple recipes!
Awesome to hear, thanks so much for watching and for giving them a try! I'd love to hear how they turned out for you!
I usually make overnight oats with lots of chia seeds, but now I will try the pudding. I think chocolate, coconut, and almond would be great, like an Almond Joy. Yum.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video - and that sounds like a fantastic combo!
Use cacao powder it's yum
Love this video! I have seen many videos of making chia pudding but I never tried it, but I DEFINITELY going to try these starting today. I just love the combinations that you used here. I also going to try with yogurt like one of the comments here.❤❤
That's awesome to hear! Good luck and I hope you enjoy giving them a try - would love to hear how it turns out for you! Thanks for watching!
Just made a double batch of Very Berry and it's delicious. I'm not a huge lover of fruit, but blending it was a game changer ❤️💜💙
Amazing, I'm so glad to hear that! Blended frozen berries are such a refreshing, delicious and healthy ingredient, and doesn't really ever feel like eating fruits :) Thanks so much for watching!
I’ve been making chia pudding your way for about two months now and every time it’s perfect
That’s so awesome to hear! I’m so glad you’re enjoying the recipe - thanks for the comment!
Love your creations here. Your voice makes the video relaxingly attractive, videography is perfect, and the written recipes makes it much easier to follow.
Thank you so much for the support! I appreciate the comments and feedback - it's always so great to hear when people enjoy the presentation of the content. Thanks for watching!
He definitely could do TV commercial voiceovers. Thank you for these recipes. I hope the kids like them. I need the chia seeds to fill those hollow legs. 😂🤣
Also, I love how you give a list of ingredients. New sub!
@Kathleen Brown haha aw. Thank you :) I'm going to have to hire an agent soon for those TV commercial voiceovers!
@@toastyapron Serious word of warning. Another channel I listen to... he got ripped off. He signed a contract and they now own his voice! I hear it on a lot of commercials. Get a very good acting lawyer to assure you are protected.
Wonderful video! These flavor combinations all look terrific and I can’t wait to try them. Thank you!
Thanks so much for watching! I hope you enjoy giving them a try!
I had been seeing chia seeds in the grocery but I had never bought coz I don't know how to consume it.
I am so glad I saw your easy prep video on chia seeds. 💖💖
It's so enticing and it does look so good and healthy!
I'm excited to buy the ingredients on my next grocery shopping.🥰🥰
Hi there! Yes chia seeds are amazing for both their nutrition and convenience - once you know how to use and prep them! Thanks for watching and hope you enjoy making the recipes!
@@toastyapron Yes, I will. Thanks again.🥰🥰
I made chia pudding and the next day the chia seeds were all at the top hard. Thank you for the 5 minute tip 🙏🏽 😀 I'm gonna try again! These look amazing 👏🏽 🤩
No problem at all! It's a super important tip that I thought was important to highlight - I hope it helps improve the texture of yours the next time you give it a try! I'd love to hear how it turns out 😀 Thanks for watching!
Totally swipping the pumpkin pie recipe. Going to up my chia puddin game.
Amazing, I hope you enjoy making it! Thanks for watching!
Great video! I love chia seed pudding for breakfast. I have just put together my own recipe and make it on repeat. You have given me so many new ideas. I'm excited to try some of them. Thx!
Awesome! Thanks so much for watching!
I love making it with almond, coconut or concentrated milk 🤤
Those are all delicious for sure!
Okay- now I’m hungry! 🤦🏾♀️Best chia pudding recipes I’ve ever seen!
Thanks so much for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed the recipes!
Glad I found your channel. I used to eat chia pudding all the time before the pandemic ,and then after seeing your video I will be making it again now that I remember how good chia seeds are for you and the different ways you can have it.
Thank you so much for watching! I agree, chia pudding is amazing in so many ways - convenient, nutritious and so versatile, it's something I quickly whip up often, just to have ready to grab-and-go anytime (and saves me from munching on a bag of chips or a bowl of ice cream!)
That’s awesome… I do the frozen berries… love that you added coconut. I love mangos so I use the frozen mangos in the winter. Like all your flavours and I’ll try them… I travel for work and they’re awesome. Thank you for sharing . 💐
Awesome to hear! Thanks so much for watching!
This is an elite level video. I love that you covered containers and variations!
Thank you so much for the kind words and for the support! I'm so glad you enjoyed watching!
Thank you love it when recipes are simple because who has time for complicated recipes. I think I am going to try them all to see which ones I like best.
Thanks so much for watching! I totally agree and love sharing simple, easy-to-make recipes that fit in to our busy lifestyles. 😀
This is exactly what I needed for healthy snacks. Thanks so much 💜
Thanks so much for watching! I'm glad you found the video helpful!
@@toastyapron you’re welcome
Wow! Excellent recipes. Now I know how to eat the fruits that I am allergic to. Thank you. ❤
Thanks so much for watching!
I made your mango and coconut chia pudding. I caught a small taste and it catapulted me straight to a tropical island. A little mini-vacay.
I also experimented with a peanut butter and jelly idea by adding pb2, maple syrup, and homemade oat milk(SO much cheaper homemade) to the base, then blending it extra well(this one will get chunky without the extra five minute blend, no doubt), and layering the pudding with a strawberry preserve.
It's nostalgic and tasty, and this pregnant lady is now ready to tackle her next few days' worth of cravings!
The mango coconut really is like a mini tropical vacay! I'm so glad you enjoyed it - and the pb&j sounds delicious! Thanks so much for watching!
First time I’ve ever had a “healthy” breakfast and felt happy, satisfied, and didn’t end up in a binge cycle! Felt like dessert for breakfast, but without the guilt!
How I did it:
Cup of milk::3 tablespoons of chia
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Honey
Cinnamon
Frozen berries!
Amazing! Thanks so much for sharing and for giving these a try - I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
I've loved chia seed pudding since forever and I didn't want to pay dollars for a small portion in cafes. So I made my own too! But I have a thing for savory desserts and if you have the same taste buds, try topping it with peanut butter, granola and pretzel biscuits!
They're so much better and more cost effective to make at home! Thanks so much for watching, and I'll definitely have to give that PB/granola/pretzel combo a try!
Great job! I used to make chia pudding and eat it plain but you've inspired me to be more creative!!!
I'm so glad it helped inspire you to experiment with different flavour combinations! Chia pudding can be so fun to play around with and be creative with. Thanks for watching, have fun!
Absolutely love chia pudding! Thanks for sharing another great recipe and meal preps.
Thank you so much again for watching! Always happy to see another chia pudding fan!
Absolutely love chia pudding. It’s hard to pick a favorite, mango is definitely delicious and we love the berry, pumpkin. This is our mid afternoon snack, before a very light dinner
I'm so glad to hear that you enjoyed them! Thanks so much for watching!

I enjoyed this video, it inspired me to start making chia pudding again. I'll try each of these. My son loves chocolate so I made a chocolate one, with oat milk, pumpkin seed protein powder, maple syrup, cocao powder, vanilla extract, cinnamon and sun butter.
Amazing! That sounds like a delicious combination of ingredients :) Thanks so much for watching and hope you enjoy experimenting with different recipes!
always grind the chia seeds first then soak overnight and blend in a blender with the other ingredients to make certain it won't damage intestines
I did the chocolate banana one, but an overnight oats version. It was yummy, thanks! Really want to try the mango and orange ones as well
Awesome! Yes you can certainly customize a lot of these chia pudding recipes to overnight oats as well - great call! Thanks for watching!
