In a medium-sized bowl, combine the chia seeds, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Whisk the ingredients together thoroughly to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed in the liquid.
Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then whisk again to prevent clumping.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture to a sealed container.
Refrigerate the chia seed mixture for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best texture.
Once the pudding has set, give it a good stir before serving to ensure an even consistency.
Divide the pudding into two bowls or jars.
Top each serving with fresh berries and a sprinkle of chopped nuts if desired.
Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
