Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any preferred plant-based milk)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 ripe banana
- 0.25 cup fresh berries (such as blueberries or strawberries)
- 2 tablespoons chopped nuts or seeds (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, mash the half ripe banana thoroughly until smooth.
Add the chia seeds, unsweetened almond milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon to the bowl with the mashed banana.
Stir the mixture well to combine all ingredients evenly, ensuring there are no clumps of chia seeds.
Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap, and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours, or overnight for the best texture.
Once the pudding has thickened to a pudding-like consistency, give it a good stir to ensure even texture.
Divide the chia seed pudding into two serving jars or bowls.
Top each serving with fresh berries and a sprinkle of chopped nuts or seeds, if desired.
Serve immediately or keep chilled in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
