Ingredients
- 1 Banana
- 1 Teaspoon Instant Coffee
- 2 Tablespoons Chia Seeds
- ¼ Cup Almond Milk
- ¼ Cup Creamer of choice
Instructions
- Mash 1 banana and set aside half. In a jar, stir the other half of the banana with 1 teaspoon of instant coffee, 2 tablespoons of chia seeds, and ¼ cup of almond milk. Stir well, then refrigerate 5-30 minutes (or overnight) until the chia forms a pudding-like texture.
- Layer the reserved mashed banana on top of the set chia mixture. Froth ¼ cup creamer and pour over the banana layer. Sprinkle with cocoa or coffee, then stir before drinking or enjoy layered.
Notes
- Use Very Ripe Bananas: Sweeter and easier to mash.
- Adjust Coffee Strength: Taste, and add more instant coffee if you prefer it stronger, or add more milk if you want it less strong.
- Prevent Clumping: Stir chia immediately and again after 2 minutes.
- Customize Thickness: Use more liquid for a drinkable consistency. Refrigerate your chia coffee overnight for spoonable pudding.
- Frothing: Shake creamer in a jar for 30 seconds to create foam if you don't have a milk frother.
