Made with nutrient-packed chia seeds, unsweetened almond milk, pure vanilla extract, and a touch of natural sweetness from maple syrup, this dairy-free pudding is as creamy as it is satisfying. A hint of ground cinnamon adds a subtle warmth, while optional toppings like fresh berries and chopped nuts bring bursts of flavor and crunch.

Packed with fiber, naturally low in sodium, and irresistibly tasty, this vanilla chia pudding will quickly become your go-to healthy indulgence.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chia seeds, unsweetened almond milk, vanilla extract, pure maple syrup, and ground cinnamon.
Whisk the mixture thoroughly to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed and not clumping together.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding-like consistency.
Before serving, stir the pudding well to distribute any settled chia seeds.
Serve the chia pudding in individual bowls or glasses, topped with fresh berries and chopped nuts if desired. Enjoy as a healthy breakfast, snack, or dessert.
