Ingredients
  

Main
  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 cup milk almond, coconut, oat, or regular
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons sweetener maple syrup, honey, or agave
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
  • Your favorite toppings berries, nuts, granola, or banana

Method
 

  1. In a small jar or bowl, add 3 tablespoons chia seeds, 1 cup milk, 1 to 2 teaspoons sweetener, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract if using. Stir thoroughly to combine and prevent clumping.
  2. Place the jar or bowl in the refrigerator. After 5 minutes, remove and stir again to redistribute seeds and prevent clumping.
  3. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight until the mixture reaches a pudding-like consistency.
  4. Before serving, check the consistency. For a thicker pudding, stir in more chia seeds and wait 30 minutes. For a thinner pudding, add a splash of milk and stir.
  5. Top with your favorite toppings such as berries, nuts, granola, or banana slices before serving.

Notes

This chia seed pudding recipe is easy to make ahead of time and perfect for meal prep. It keeps in the refrigerator for up to five days. Stirring twice — once initially and once after five minutes — ensures a smooth texture.
