Ingredients
2 tablespoons chia seeds
½ cup unsweetened almond milk (or other plant-based milk)
1 teaspoon pure maple syrup (optional)
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Toppings of choice: sliced banana, fresh berries, chopped nuts, coconut flakes, or dairy-free yogurt
Instructions
In a clean jar or small bowl, add chia seeds and almond milk.
Stir well to combine, then add maple syrup and vanilla extract if using.
Stir again after 5 minutes to prevent clumping and help the seeds absorb the liquid evenly.
Cover the jar or bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
Before serving, stir the pudding one last time and top with your favorite fresh fruits, nuts, or a dollop of yogurt.
Enjoy chilled as a ready-to-eat breakfast, snack, or dessert.
Notes
If your pudding is too thick, stir in a splash of extra milk before eating.
Want a smoother texture? Blend the pudding before chilling.
Great for meal prep: make 3–4 jars at once and store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Use seasonal fruits or spices (like cinnamon or cocoa powder) for flavor variety.
For a high-protein version, add a scoop of plant-based protein powder.
