Make Ahead Healthy Breakfast

These chia puddings are a super easy way to get your week day rushed mornings back under control. All you need to do is steep the Spicy Chocolate Chai Organic Pu-erh Tea, in your favorite non-dairy warmed milk, add a dash of vanilla, maple syrup, stir in the chia seeds the night before and refrigerate. Another easy overnight breakfast casserole you may like is our savory breakfast bread pudding for easy entertaining.

In the morning, you will wake up to the perfect fall breakfast pudding treat. We just love all of the Fraser Tea products. All of their teas are organic and they have some really delicious unique tea blends. We are currently addicted to their healthy high anti-oxidant matcha green teas to add to our smoothies!

What is Pu-erh Tea?

Pu-erh (puer) tea is a delicious healthy tea that can either be fermented or aged naturally. Good Naturally fermented tea has an earthy woody taste. Actually, the taste is affected by the age of the tea, the time of the steep, the height of the pour, the cup and pot it is served in and where the tea leaves were harvested from.

A good pu-erh tea is like wine in many ways. The older the tea, the better the brew. We have spent many days with tea experts in China and also attended many tea conventions. If we shared with you all these details you would be overwhelmed. So for now, Pu-erh has 60-70 mg of caffeine for fermented tea and for green unfermented pu-erh it is 30-40mg of caffeine.

Benefits

Spicy Chocolate Chai Pu-erh Chia Pudding is almost like eating dessert for breakfast, just like our Chocolate Matcha Chia Seed Pudding, but it is healthy. Pu-erh tea has numerous health benefits. Pu-erh tea (cha) is high in antioxidants, helps reduce cholesterol, aids in weight loss and is warming. We just love Fraser Tea products as they create custom handcrafted organic tea blends right here in Michigan and deliver them fresh to you.

Non-Dairy

We tested this recipe with many kinds of non-dairy milk products such as almond milk, soy milk, coconut milk and hands down coconut milk was our favorite. Coconut and chai go together lovely. We used the coconut milk in the boxes, the drinkable version. However, we also tested it with pure unsweetened coconut milk in a can (Thai Kitchen Brand) and it was delicious but very rich so thin it out with a little almond milk or water.

Toppings

You can top your Spicy Chocolate Chai Pu-erh Chia Pudding with anything your heart desires but we whipped up Homemade Coconut Whipped Cream , a little cocoa powder and toasted unsweetened coconut for a little crunch. Cocoa nips, fresh fruit and even a little coconut yogurt would be super delicious as toppings.

Ratio of Non-dairy Milk to Chia Seeds

The ratio for non-dairy milk to chia seeds is 1 cup non-dairy milk to ¼ cup chia seeds. After you add your Spicy Chocolate Chai Pu-erh Tea to the chia seeds, you will put it in the refrigerator in a covered container. After a couple of hours, your Chocolate Chai tea Chia Pudding will already start to thicken up because the chia seeds will start to plump up. However, the best texture is waiting until the morning to eat or at several hours later when the chia pudding is cold and set.

Health Benefits of Chia Seeds

Chia seeds are a superfood. They are high in antioxidants, fiber, minerals and have been proven help help combat diabetes. Chia seeds are a lovely way to sneak in a little added nutrition into a breakfast treat.
