Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy like almond, coconut, or oat milk)
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Toppings: Fresh fruit (berries, mango, banana), nuts, granola, coconut flakes, or nut butter
Instructions
In a bowl or jar, combine the chia seeds, milk, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Stir well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed. Alternatively, shake the jar to combine the ingredients.
- Cover the bowl or seal the jar and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight. The chia seeds will absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding-like consistency.
- Stir the pudding before serving. If it’s too thick, add more milk to adjust the consistency.
- Top with your favorite toppings like fresh fruit, granola, nuts, or nut butter.
- Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Notes
- For a chocolatey twist, add 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder to the mix and extra sweetener.
- For a tropical flavor, use coconut milk and add shredded coconut.
- Blend berries with the milk for a fruity chia pudding.
- For an autumn-inspired twist, add cinnamon and top with sautéed apples.
- Stir in peanut butter or almond butter for extra creaminess.
