Author: Olivia Bennett

Ingredients

Scale

2 tbsp chia seeds
1/4 cup light coconut milk
1.5 tsp maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 tbsp freshly squeezed orange juice
1 tbsp Greek yogurt
3 tbsp mandarin orange slices
orange zest (- pinch)
coconut flakes (- pinch)

Instructions

Squeeze the juice out of 3 mandarin oranges (or 3 tablespoon of juice if using a regular orange).
In a mason jar (or other sealable container), mix together orange juice, coconut milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Let it sit for 5 minutes.

Stir again to remove any clumps (this is important!). Snap on a lid and refrigerate for 2+ hours.
When it's ready, take it out of the fridge and add on top a spoonful of Greek yogurt, and a handful of peeled mandarin slices.

Optional: You can also use a fine grater to grate some orange zest from the remaining mandarin peel. Then, top it off with some coconut flakes. Enjoy!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this Orange Creamsicle Chia Pudding ahead of time?

Yes, this Easy and Healthy Summer Treat is perfect for making ahead. Prepare it the night before and let it set in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best creamy texture.

What can I use if I don’t have fresh oranges?

You can use 100% pure orange juice with pulp for a similar flavor. For a more intense creamsicle taste, a small amount of natural orange extract can enhance the citrus flavor in this healthy summer treat.

How can I make this recipe dairy-free or vegan?

Simply substitute the dairy milk with a creamy plant-based alternative like coconut, oat, or almond milk. Use maple syrup or agave instead of honey to make this Easy and Healthy Summer Treat completely vegan.
