Serves: 2
INGREDIENTS:
  • 1 small papaya
  • Optional toppings
  • 1 mango, peeled and sliced
  • 1 kiwi, peeled and sliced
  • Key Lime Chia Pudding
  • 1 cup unsweetened cashew milk (or any preferred type)
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice (6 key limes)
  • 3 Medjool dates
  • 1 dash dried ginger
  • ⅓ cup chia seeds (might need an extra tablespoon or two for an extra thick option)
DIRECTIONS:
  1. Blend the milk, lime juice, dates and ginger until smooth in a high speed blender. Pour into a bowl and whisk in the chia seeds.
  2. Let the chia seeds thicken up and turn the liquid into pudding for around 20 minutes, stirring around 10 minutes in to ensure that clumps don't form at the bottom.
  3. *If they haven't thickened up fully at the 20 minute point, they may need another tablespoon or two of chia seeds mixed in and that should do the trick within a matter of a couple minutes.
  4. Store in the fridge for up to a couple days.
  5. Once the chia pudding is nearly ready to serve, cut the papaya in half and scoop out the seeds. Cut up any desired fruit for the toppings. Spoon the pudding into the cavities in the papaya and top with fruit.
