In a medium-sized bowl, combine the chia seeds and unsweetened almond milk. Stir well to ensure that the chia seeds are evenly distributed and not clumping.
Add the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, liquid stevia, and a pinch of salt to the bowl. Stir thoroughly to mix all the ingredients together.
Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator.
Let the chia pudding sit in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and swell, creating a pudding-like consistency.
Before serving, give the chia pudding a good stir. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed by adding a few more drops of liquid stevia.
Serve the pudding in small bowls or cups. Optionally, top with fresh berries, a sprinkle of nuts, or shredded coconut for added texture and flavor.
