Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.25 cups Chia seeds
- 1 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Fresh or frozen berries (optional, for topping)
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened coconut flakes (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl or a large jar with a lid, combine the chia seeds, unsweetened almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt.
Stir the mixture thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined, making sure the chia seeds are evenly distributed and not clumping together.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or seal the jar with its lid, and place it in the refrigerator.
Let the chia seed pudding sit in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for the best consistency, allowing it to thicken and become pudding-like.
Once set, give the pudding a good stir to break up any clumps and distribute the chia seeds evenly.
Spoon the pudding into serving bowls or glasses.
Top with fresh or frozen berries and unsweetened coconut flakes if desired for added flavor and texture.
Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
