Carrot Orange Chia Pudding

This post may contain affiliate links. See my disclosure policy.

Carrot and orange juice has been a favourite of mine for as long as I can remember. So, I thought it would make a tasty chia pudding flavour too. Mixed with some cinnamon too, the flavour turned out really delicious! Not very carrotty (I know, that’s not a real word…), and not overly sweet. Like with most of my sweet recipes, feel free to add some sweetener if you have a sweet tooth.

The humble carrot is a very rich source of vitamin A (this recipe alone will provide you with over 100% of your daily vitamin A requirement!). Carrots also provide your body with good amounts of fibre, vitamin C and K, potassium. Why not start your day off with with a serve of carrot in your chia pudding?

Also, did you know that vitamin A is fat soluble? This means you should consume some fat with those carrots so your body can absorb the vitamin A efficiently. Luckily, I’ve got you covered with that too – chia seeds are a great source of GOOD fats. The 2 tablespoons of chia seeds in this recipe will provide you with 9g of fat (mostly polyunsaturated fat).
