Lemon Lime Tofu Chia Pudding

This recipe combines some of my favorite things, tangy lemon-lime flavor, chia pudding, and silky smooth tofu. Apart from the flavor, one of the things I particularly like about this pudding is that it's not just chia seeds. It's more of a tofu pudding with chia seeds. One of the benefits of this is that you get a slightly larger serving size for fewer calories. Disappointingly, while writing up this recipe, I discovered that Mori-Nu has changed both the size of their packages and the nutritional information on their label, less tofu and more net carbs. I've written up the recipe as per the new packaging. In future, I will try this recipe with a different tofu and let you know how it goes. Until then, happy eating!

✎ Notes:​
  • This pudding it very tangy and not especially sweet. You may want to add more sweetener to suit your tastes. Or, you may wish to halve the lemon juice, which will reduce the carbs a wee bit as well.
