The chia pudding with pistachio oats, creamy, fragrant, and naturally sweet, perfect for a complete and balanced breakfast that combines wellness and pleasure in every spoonful. Ideal for starting the day with energy without sacrificing taste, it’s also perfect as an afternoon snack or a fresh and light dessert. The base is composed of oat flakes and chia seeds, two ingredients known for their high satiating power and content of fiber, proteins, and omega-3, which give a soft and slightly gelatinous texture, perfect to enjoy by the spoonful.
The almond plant-based milk gives a delicate and slightly sweet note, which pairs perfectly with the Greek yogurt, rich and thick, able to add creaminess and a good protein intake. To complete everything, a touch of acacia honey, chosen for its fine flavor and its ability to sweeten without covering the other ingredients. But the real star of this recipe is the pistachio cream: pure, with no added sugars, intense and velvety, it gives an irresistible aroma and a delicious note that makes this chia pudding truly special.
Easy to prepare and convenient to store in the refrigerator, this pudding lends itself to being personalized with fresh fruit or some dark chocolate flakes for an extra treat.

Steps for Preparing Pistachio Oats Chia Pudding:
In a large bowl, place the oats, chia seeds, and plain Greek yogurt and mix well, add the milk and honey and slowly incorporate it into the oats and chia seed mixture, finally add the pistachio protein cream and mix well until you get a homogeneous mixture.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 4 hours or overnight.
After the time has passed, remove the bowl from the refrigerator, put some of the mixture into a transparent cup, then add more pistachio cream and some pistachio granules, more chia pudding mixture, and to finish, add more cream and pistachio granules.
