Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 0.5 cup Blueberries
- 0.5 cup Sliced strawberries
- 0.5 cup Raspberries
- 1 medium Kiwi, peeled and diced
- 4 leaves Mint leaves, for garnish
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together chia seeds, unsweetened almond milk, vanilla extract, and maple syrup until well combined.
Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes, then stir again to redistribute the chia seeds so they don't clump together.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture into two small jars or containers with lids.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken the mixture to a pudding-like consistency.
Before serving, give the chia pudding a good stir.
Divide the pudding between two serving bowls or glasses.
Top each serving with an even portion of blueberries, sliced strawberries, raspberries, and diced kiwi.
Garnish with mint leaves if desired.
Serve immediately or keep refrigerated for up to 3 days.
