For 1 Serving(s)
Pudding
| 3/4 cup | Orange juice, unsweetened |
| 3 tbsp | Chia seeds |
| 2 packet | Sugar Twin (or sweetener of choice) |
Topping
| 4 segments | Orange segments, peeled and chopped |
| 1 tbsp | Coconut, almonds, or walnuts |
Citrus Chia Camp Delight Directions
- In a small plastic container, combine 0.75 cup (6 oz) orange juice (from a juice box), 3 tbsp chia seeds, and 2 packets of Sugar Twin (or sweetener of choice). Stir well.
- Seal the container and let it sit for 6 hours (or longer) at ambient temperature, shaking occasionally if possible, until the chia thickens into a pudding consistency.
- Peel and cut 4 orange segments into bite-sized pieces.
- Once thickened, stir the pudding, top with the orange pieces, and sprinkle with your choice of 1 tbsp shredded coconut, 1 tbsp chopped almonds, or 1 tbsp chopped walnuts.
- Serve cold directly from the container—no cooking is needed!
Recipe Notes
- Cold-soak for at least 6 hours; longer (or, overnight) yields a thicker pudding—ideal for overnight prep on the trail.
- Use a juice box for easy packing; 6 oz (200 ml) is typical for single-serve boxes, or measure from a larger source.
- Pack chia seeds, sweeteners, and nuts in sealed bags.
- Bring one orange
- Swap Sugar Twin with honey, maple syrup, sugar, or stevia—adjust to taste for your preferred sweetness level.
