Recipe Directions
- 1. Add all ingredients (except chia seeds) to your high-speed blender. Remember, use nice, fresh oranges that have most of the white external rind bits cut off.
- 2. Blend mixture until very creamy and smooth (do not add the chia seeds!).
- 3. Place untouched chia seeds in a mixing bowl. Pour orange mixture on top of chia seeds.
- 4. Stir mixture vigorously with a spoon. Ensure that the chia seeds are well distributed.
- 5. Chill this raw orange chia seed pudding recipe in the refrigerator for at least three hours, stirring once per hour if you can remember to do so (no biggie if you forget)! However, it is important to let this chia pudding recipe sit in the fridge for a few hours before consuming because the chia seeds will expand up to 10 times their original size, similar to tapioca seeds, and then it tastes that much better.
The Rawtarian's Thoughts
By The Rawtarian Creamy orange chia seed pudding will definitely quench your desire for a creamy, orange treat! It's very easy to prepare, but it does need to sit in the fridge for a couple of hours so that the chia seeds can plump up (similar to tapioca). It is not the most aesthetically pleasing recipe, because the orange and black seeds are sort of an odd combination in the bowl, but it would make a perfect Halloween dessert.
Also, for taste I like to sprinkle a small amount of cinnamon on this raw chia pudding recipe just before serving.
I hope you like this orange chia seed pudding recipe. I just made it up! And I absolutely love it. It tastes like an orange creamsicle :)

Has anyone tried adding cocoa or cacao to this for a jaffa type flavour? (Choc/orange if you don't have jaffas in the US!). If yes do you know quantity to add?

Orange chia seed pudding recipe
Just made this, minus the honey (honey isn't vegan) and it tasted like an orange creamsicle. Will definitely be making again.

Nice! I'm so glad it worked for you. Was it your first chia pudding?

Hi,
I love your recipes, but I was wondering if you had any tips about how to handle issues with digesting nuts? It seems whenever I eat them, I have gastro issues.. Is there a way around this?
Thanks,

Glyphosate in Monsanto's Roundup is glycine with other toxins attached to it. Glycine is a necessary component of proteins so the proteins incorporate gyphosate into themselves. Glyphosate causes digestive issues. Detox the glyphosate. Water fasting is one method for detoxing, and eat only 100% organic non-GMO.

If you are having gastro issues, soaking may help a lot. (normally I suggest that soaking is too much bother, but if you're having stomach issues it's worth a try). Soak in a bowl for 8 hours [in fridge], rinse clean, pat dry, use immediately. This makes them easier to digest and also removes enzyme inhibitors from exterior of nuts.

Loved this one, replaced honey with Stevia drops and have also varied the recipe by adding Kiwifruit and/or strawberries to substitute for one of the oranges. This is a favourite at our house.

Very simple to make and was lovely. I may try it with a lemon instead of one of the oranges next time. Has anyone tried it with ground seeds to make it smoother? Would that work?

Hi - I pop them in the blender when I make the chocolate one, it doesn't set as well as when they are whole but is smoother and still very addictive!!!! :)

Hi Sarah, Lemon sounds like a lovely substitute idea.
I haven't tried it with ground chia myself. I should pick up some! Also, maybe you can put the chia seeds in the blender and blend them up whole (if you don't have ground chia)

would it be ok to leave the white part of the orange, that's where most of the vitamins are. or will it taste gross?

Hi Monica - it might make it a tad more bitter, but I think you'll be just fine :)
