Equipment
- 1 High speed blender
Ingredients
- 1 orange medium
- 4 Medjool dates pitted
- 1½ cups coconut milk canned, full fat
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon orange zest optional
Instructions
- Prep the orange and dates: Peel the orange, removing all the white pith and membranes and cut into slices. Pit the Medjool dates and remove any stems.
- Blend the base: Add the prepped orange, dates, full-fat canned coconut milk, vanilla extract to a blender. Blend on high until completely smooth and creamy, about 20-30 seconds.
- Stir in chia seeds: Pour the blended mixture into a bowl or jar and stir in the chia seeds. Mix well to distribute evenly.
- Refrigerate: Place the pudding in a container, cover, and refrigerate for at least 60 minutes or overnight. The chia seeds will soak up the liquid and thicken into a pudding consistency.
- Serve: Give the pudding a good stir before serving. Top with orange zest if you like, enjoy!
Notes
Be sure to remove as much of the white membrane part of the orange as possible as this can be a bit bitter. Also, if your oranges aren't super sweet, you may want to squeeze a bit of fresh orange juice into the pudding - this helps sweeten it up a bit.
