Ingredients & Substitutions
Chia seeds are not just for texture; they’re packed with omega-3s and fiber! If you don’t have almond milk, feel free to use oat or soy milk. Fresh ginger gives a lovely warmth, but ground ginger can work in a pinch. Adjust the sweetness with maple syrup to suit your taste.
Tips & Notes
- •I keep my chia seeds in a glass jar - they stay fresh for days and are ready to use whenever I need them.
- •If you want a stronger ginger flavor, let the grated ginger steep in the warm milk for a few minutes before adding the rest of the ingredients.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I’ll throw in a spoonful of cacao powder for a chocolaty twist that pairs beautifully with the spices.
- •If I’m feeling adventurous, I’ll add a sprinkle of turmeric for an extra health boost and a golden hue.
Storage & Freezing
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just remember to give it a good stir before reheating, as the chia seeds will settle.
