Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.25 cup Chia seeds
- 1.5 cups Low-fat milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt, low-fat
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Fresh fruit or berries (optional, for topping)
- 0.25 cup Nuts or seeds (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the chia seeds, low-fat milk, vanilla extract, and honey or maple syrup.
Stir the mixture well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed and not clumped together.
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 into a pudding consistency.
Before serving, stir in the low-fat Greek yogurt to add creaminess to the pudding.
Add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors, stirring well to combine.
Divide the pudding into four serving dishes or jars.
Top each serving with fresh fruit or berries and nuts or seeds, if desired.
Serve chilled and enjoy your refreshing and healthy low-fat creamy vanilla chia pudding!
