Ingredients

Cereal Milk

  • 3 cups milk (coconut almond milk recommended)
  • 2 cups Lucky Charms cereal
  • Chia Pudding

    • 2 cups cereal milk (prepared from above)
    • 1/3 cup chia seeds
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 teaspoon honey
    • 1 pinch of salt
    • Toppings

      • 1/2 cup Lucky Charms cereal (some crushed, some left whole)
      • 1 banana, sliced
      • Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cereal Milk: Place 2 cups of Lucky Charms cereal in a large bowl and cover with 3 cups of milk. Press a bowl or plate over the cereal to submerge it fully. Let it steep for 45 minutes to infuse the milk with the cereal's flavors, then strain out the cereal, reserving the infused milk for the pudding.
  2. Mix Chia Pudding: In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of the prepared cereal milk with 1/3 cup chia seeds, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon honey, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to mix all ingredients evenly.
  3. Initial Chill: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for 30 minutes. After this time, stir the pudding thoroughly to break up any clumps of chia seeds.
  4. Final Chill: Cover the pudding again and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to fully absorb the liquid and create a thick, creamy texture.
  5. Serve: Scoop the chilled chia pudding into bowls or jars. Top with sliced bananas, a mix of crushed and whole Lucky Charms cereal, and garnish with fresh mint leaves. Enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • You can use any milk substitute such as almond, oat, or regular dairy milk depending on preference and dietary needs.
  • For a vegan version, ensure to substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
  • Feel free to add other fruits or nuts as toppings for extra texture and flavor.
  • Keeping the pudding refrigerated overnight enhances the thickness and flavor absorption.
  • Stirring the pudding halfway through chilling prevents chia seeds from clumping.
