Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.25 cup Chia seeds
- 1 cup Almond milk
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Fresh strawberries
- 0.25 cup Fresh blueberries
- 1 small Banana
- 2 for serving Mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons Nuts or seeds (optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the chia seeds, almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir well until all the seeds are fully submerged and there are no clumps.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight, to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and form a pudding-like consistency.
While the chia pudding is setting, prepare your fruit by washing and slicing the strawberries and banana. Set aside.
Once the chia pudding has thickened, give it a good stir to ensure an even texture.
Divide the chia pudding into two serving glasses or bowls.
Layer the sliced strawberries, blueberries, and banana on top of the chia pudding.
Top with optional nuts or seeds for added crunch, if desired.
Garnish each serving with fresh mint leaves.
Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to three days.
