Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.25 cup Chia seeds
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon Pure maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Cinnamon (optional)
- 0.5 cup Fresh fruit, such as berries or sliced bananas (optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl or a jar with a lid, combine the chia seeds and almond milk.
Add the pure maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cinnamon (if using) to the mixture.
Stir the ingredients well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed and not clumping together.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or place the lid on the jar. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight. The chia seeds will absorb the liquid and create a pudding-like consistency.
Once chilled and set, stir the pudding well before serving. If you find the pudding too thick, you can add more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
Serve the chia seed pudding in bowls or glasses, and top with fresh fruit if desired.
Enjoy your low sodium almond milk chia seed pudding immediately, or keep it refrigerated for up to 3 days.
