Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Chia seeds
- 2 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons Pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Fresh berries (optional, for topping)
- 0.25 cup Toasted coconut flakes (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add 0.5 cup of chia seeds.
Pour in 2 cups of unsweetened almond milk, ensuring the milk is well chilled.
Add 2 tablespoons of pure maple syrup and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the bowl.
Sprinkle in 0.125 teaspoon of salt to enhance the flavors.
Whisk all the ingredients together thoroughly to ensure the chia seeds are evenly dispersed and don’t clump together.
Cover the bowl with a lid or use a stretch of plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator.
Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken to a pudding-like consistency.
Once set, give the chia seed pudding a good stir. If it's too thick for your liking, you can loosen it up by stirring in a little more almond milk.
Serve the pudding in individual bowls or glasses.
Top with fresh berries and toasted coconut flakes if desired for added flavor and texture before serving.
