Serves: 4
INGREDIENTS:
  • 2 pears, sliced (around 6 slices each)
  • 2 cups unsweetened vanilla cashew milk (or any preferred variety)
  • 1 cup fresh peach juice (from 1 large or 2 medium peaches)
  • ⅔ cup chia seeds
DIRECTIONS:
  1. Place the milk in a medium sized bowl and whisk in the chia seeds. Let them plump up for around 20 minutes, but give it another stir around 10-15 minutes in to make sure the seeds aren't clumping. When there is around 10 minutes left for the chia pudding, pour the peach juice into a large skillet and place on the stove over medium heat. Leave for 2-3 minutes until the juice warms up.
  2. Add in the pear slices and leave for 5 minutes. Flip and leave them in the pan for another 3 minutes, until they are softened through and the peach juice has thickened and reduced down almost all the way.
  3. Remove the pears from the heat.
  4. Portion out the chia seed pudding into bowls or jars. If serving right away- place a few slices of pear over the pudding. If meal prepping for later- store the pudding and pears in separate containers then plate together when serving.
  5. Both components can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a couple days.
