Recipe Notes

Chia seeds absorb liquid as they rest, creating a naturally thick, pudding-like texture without any cooking. Pairing them with protein powder makes this recipe especially satisfying, while the fruit adds freshness and crunch.

Using Honey House Creamed Honey adds gentle sweetness with a smooth, spreadable consistency that blends effortlessly into the pudding. Made from 100% pure, raw, American-sourced honey, it brings natural flavor without overpowering the other ingredients.

Perfect Pairings

Serve with:

• A hot cup of coffee or matcha

• Toast with nut butter and honey

• Fresh berries or sliced banana

• A handful of granola for crunch
