Equipment

  • 1 medium bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 2 fresh oranges (Any variety, blood orange is a great option!)
  • ¼ cup chia seeds
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (whole fat)

Instructions
 

  • Peel and chop one orange to put on top of the pudding. Depending on which stage of the Texture Timeline™ your baby is on, prepare this orange according to their stage and offer it on the side if necessary.
  • Juice the remaining orange, setting the juice aside and discarding the orange pieces.
  • Whisk the orange juice, chia seeds, and yogurt in a medium bowl. Set it aside in the refrigerator for the chia seeds to absorb the moisture for at least 20 minutes, but you could even leave it refrigerated overnight.
  • Divide the mixture, offering a num num gootensil or baby friendly spoon for your baby to self-feed (or let them dig in with their hands!). Serve the orange that was prepared earlier according to your baby's stage on the Texture Timeline™ on the side or on top of the pudding.

Notes

Substitutions: Plain Greek yogurt can be substituted for another plain yogurt of preference, but we recommend ensuring it contains full fat to keep you baby full for longer. It can even be swapped with unsweetened coconut yogurt if your baby has a dairy allergy.
