Raw Orange Chia Seed Breakfast Pudding

Susan | April 5, 2011

I have been having a craving for oranges lately. Big juicy oranges. Maybe it is because we are actually starting to get hints of spring, or maybe because I just need some citrus. I also was longing for some new and interesting breakfast ideas. It’s been a long winter! I bought a big bag of oranges and put together this raw food recipe for Orange Chia Seed Breakfast Pudding. It’s a hit. Honestly, you could eat it any time of the day but it made a beautiful breakfast for me this morning. I topped this with the granola recipe from Rawmazing Transitional Foods.

I prepared this for my brunch today. Delish!!! I did have to add a little of my fav raw vanilla. Surely one of these days I can prepare someone else’s recipe without tweaking it a bit. I did shoot over to your ‘Shooting the Kitchen’ website and I do believe the photos are some of the MOST gorgeous one’s of food that I have ever laid my eyes upon. Thank you for your work!!!!

I’m so glad I found your blog! I just finished making your almond butter (yum!) and then found this recipe for chia seeds…which I just bought and don’t yet have much idea what to do with, though I love them at restaurants so far. This looks so good, I’m going to have to make it for breakfast tomorrow, with the almonds left over from making butter. 🙂

I love chia puddings! This sounds great. I’ve been eating clementines like crazy right now too. Sounds like I have a new breakfast for tomorrow. 🙂

I like your version! I did not get too many interests on my post but it is probably the most delicious breakfast! I had been craving oranges too! Great minds think alike! http://www.singerskitchen.com/2011/03/orange-chia-pudding-parfait.html
