I absolutely love this chia seed pudding for its super creamy, silky-smooth texture. By sheer chance, I discovered that custard apple flesh makes the perfect flavouring for chia seed pudding, and since then, I haven’t looked back!
Make this low FODMAP: replace custard apple with two small (220g) mashed ripe banana and regular greek yoghurt with lactose free plain yoghurt or Greek yoghurt with lacteeze enzyme added (Yo Pro or Chobani Fit), always check labels for currency of ingredients.
Make this Diabetes friendly: keep to the following portion size, fill small jar with 1/4 cup custard apple pudding add 1/4 cup plain greek yoghurt and top with 3 tablespoons mixed berries. This portion size is an excellent snack size with estimated 18g of carbohydrates per serve.
