Orange Cranberry Chia Pudding With Tahini Syrup

This Cranberry Orange Chia Pudding is the most perfect meal for your busy mornings.

Chia pudding might be one of the healthiest breakfast choices. It’s so filling and nourishing. Chia seeds are protein-rich, fiber-rich, high in vitamins and minerals, high in antioxidants and loaded with omega 3’s. One bowl of these magical seeds and you’ll start your morning with a ton of energy! But don’t go thinking chia puddings are just a boring goody-good breakfast, this Cranberry Orange Chia pudding is so creamy, sweet and lush it can be a delicious dessert or snack. Sounds fancy, but it’s so simple and delicious.

I love using orange zest, it has so much flavor, and you can save the orange for later. Oranges pair so well with sweet, tangy, chewy cranberries. Finally, I added tahini for creaminess; because to me, tahini and oranges are the dreamiest combo (if you are also a fan of this lovely combination, check out the recipe for my Orange, Tahini and Cashew Granola here, it’s truly delicious).

And because my love for tahini is huge (you can never have too much tahini, right?!) I like to top this beautiful pudding with a scrumptious tahini syrup.

This easy breakfast is also gluten-free, paleo and vegan. Just one last thing, chia seeds need to soak for a couple of hours, so make sure you prep this ahead of time. It will keep in the fridge for about 5 days.
