Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup chia seeds
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup fresh fruits (e.g., berries, sliced bananas)
- 2 tablespoons chopped nuts or seeds (e.g., almonds, pecans)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the chia seeds and almond milk. Whisk well to ensure all chia seeds are evenly dispersed in the milk.
Add maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt to the mixture and whisk again to combine. Make sure the chia seeds are not clumping together.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture to a sealed container.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and swell to form a pudding-like consistency.
When ready to serve, give the chia pudding a good stir. If it seems too thick, you can add a little more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
Spoon the chia pudding into serving bowls or glasses.
Top with fresh fruits and chopped nuts or seeds of your choice for added flavor and texture.
Serve immediately, or store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
