Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup chia seeds
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup fresh berries (optional)
- 0.25 cup toasted almonds (optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the chia seeds and unsweetened almond milk.
Add the pure maple syrup, pure vanilla extract, and salt to the mixture.
Stir the mixture thoroughly, ensuring that the chia seeds are evenly dispersed in the almond milk.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken.
Once the pudding has set and reached a creamy consistency, stir it again to remove any clumps.
Divide the chia seed pudding into four serving bowls or jars.
Top each serving with fresh berries and toasted almonds, if desired, before serving.
Enjoy your delicious and nutritious dairy-free creamy vanilla chia seed pudding!
