In a medium-sized bowl or a large jar with a lid, combine the chia seeds and almond milk.
Add in the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Stir well or cover the jar and shake until the ingredients are thoroughly mixed and the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes, then stir or shake again to break apart any clumps.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results, allowing the chia seeds to expand and thicken the pudding.
Once set, stir the pudding again and spoon into serving dishes.
Serve topped with your choice of fresh fruits, nuts, or a dollop of almond butter if desired.
