Recipe Guide
- → Can I use different milk instead of almond milk?
Yes, oat, soy, or coconut milk are great alternatives and can adjust the creaminess and flavor.
- → Do I need to cook the chia mixture?
No cooking is needed; the chia seeds thicken naturally when refrigerated overnight.
- → How can I make the green color more vibrant?
Add a few drops of natural green food coloring or a pinch of spirulina powder for a bolder hue.
- → What toppings work best with this dish?
Dairy-free yogurt, cacao nibs, fresh mint, and berries complement the flavors and add texture contrast.
- → Is this suitable for vegan and gluten-free diets?
Yes, using plant-based milks and avoiding dairy toppings keeps it vegan and gluten-free.
