If you love avocado, leafy greens and fresh herbs – this is the Best Green Summer chia pudding for you! This is a simple recipe, takes about 10 minutes to make, and is super nourishing for an afternoon pick-me-up snack or brekkie.
I find myself craving three kinds of snacks in the summer: fruity smoothies, creamy nice cream or refreshing yogurt-based chia puddings. This particular pudding has been my go to recipe when I need to incorporate more green goodness in my daily diet.
The amount of sweetness can easily be adjusted by using sweetened yogurt. And with yummy toppings such as juicy berries, this becomes totally kid- (and husband) approved 🙂

Total time
Serves: 1-2
Ingredients

Instructions
- Blend everything in a high-speed blender or food processor until smooth and creamy.
- Top with berries and ENJOY 🙂
I find myself craving at least one creamy cool meal per day in the summer too, why not make it a gorgeously green goodness-packed little jar like this! The creaminess of avocado + chia pudding altogether sounds most amazing for texture. And my tummy will love that this is not overly sweet or fruit-packed either. Those green-tinted cups are the cutest too, plus your always perfect styling shows them off so well. Simple but perfect 🙂
I absolutely adore the photography here, Tiina! The mood, the colors, the lighting – they are all perfect! And this is such a fun dish for the summer!
