Ingredients
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy like almond, soy, or oat)
- 1-2 tablespoons sweetener (maple syrup, honey, agave, or erythritol to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Pinch of salt (optional)
- Optional toppings: fresh berries, sliced banana, chopped nuts, granola, shredded coconut
Instructions
- In a jar or small bowl, combine the chia seeds, milk, sweetener, vanilla extract (if using), and a pinch of salt (if using).
- Whisk thoroughly for about 1-2 minutes, making sure there are no clumps of chia seeds.
- Cover the jar or bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, until the pudding has thickened to your desired consistency.
- Before serving, give it a good stir. If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk and stir again. If it’s too thin, add a few more chia seeds and let it sit for another 30 minutes.
- Serve chilled with your favorite toppings like fresh fruit, nuts, or granola. Enjoy!
- Leftover chia pudding can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
