Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup or stevia (optional)
- 1/4 cup fresh berries for topping
- A pinch of cinnamon
Instructions
- In a glass jar or a small bowl, add the chia seeds, almond milk, vanilla extract, and your chosen sweetener. Stir well with a spoon to ensure all the seeds are submerged in the liquid.
- Wait about 2 to 3 minutes and then give the mixture another vigorous stir. This step is crucial because chia seeds tend to settle at the bottom and clump together. Stirring a second time ensures a smooth, pudding-like texture.
- Cover the jar with a lid or plastic wrap. Place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, though leaving it overnight is best for the thickest consistency.
- Once the pudding has set and thickened, remove it from the fridge. Give it one last stir, top with fresh berries and a sprinkle of cinnamon, and enjoy your healthy meal.
