Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tablespoons (45g) chia seeds
- 1 cup (240ml) unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
- Optional toppings: fresh berries, sliced banana, chopped nuts, shredded coconut, granola, nut butter, cinnamon
Instructions
- Measure your ingredients: 3 tablespoons chia seeds, 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt.
- In a small bowl or mason jar, whisk together the almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt until the sweetener is dissolved.
- Sprinkle the chia seeds into the liquid while whisking continuously to prevent clumps. Whisk vigorously for about 30 seconds until evenly distributed.
- Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent seeds from settling.
- Pour the mixture into jars or containers, leaving room for toppings.
- Seal jars tightly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
- Before serving, stir the pudding and add your favorite toppings.
Notes
For a thicker pudding that sets faster, use 3 tablespoons chia seeds to 3/4 cup milk. The pudding keeps for up to 5 days in the refrigerator. Add toppings just before serving to keep them fresh. The flavors improve after a day or two.
