Orange Creamsicle Chia Seed Breakfast Pudding (Vegan, Gluten-Free)
Gluten-free, vegan and full of protein, vitamin C and fiber — this delicious creamy, dreamy, chia seed pudding tastes just like a creamsicle… the healthy version!
When I threw this together, I had no idea its flavor would resemble the orange cream popsicles from my childhood as well as it did.

Tips for making this vegan Orange Creamsicle Chia Pudding:
-
You can use any dairy-free or dairy milk of your choice for very similar results.
-
You can omit the maple syrup altogether for a version free of added sugar, or you can replace it with honey, agave syrup or this sugar-free monk fruit syrup for a sugar-free version.
-
The vanilla extract is crucial for the ‘Creamsicle’ flavor. If you do not have extract, you can also use a pinch of vanilla bean powder as an alternative.
-
Freshly squeezed orange juice tastes best, but in a pinch, a splash of any orange juice will work, too.
-
Be certain to refrigerate for at least 6 hours for best results.
-
You can prepare this chia pudding ahead of time and keep covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
