Description
Chia Seed Pudding is a delicious, creamy, and nutritious breakfast or snack! Made with just a few simple ingredients, it’s easy to prepare and can be customized with your favorite toppings.
Ingredients
Scale
- ¼ cup chia seeds
- 1 cup milk (almond milk, coconut milk, or any milk of choice)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (optional)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Fresh fruit, nuts, or granola for topping
Instructions
- Mix the ingredients: In a medium bowl or jar, combine the chia seeds, milk, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract. Stir well to mix everything evenly.
- Let it thicken: Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight, to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding-like consistency.
- Stir and serve: After chilling, stir the pudding to ensure an even texture. Serve in bowls or jars, and top with fresh fruit, nuts, granola, or any toppings you like.
Notes
- Chia seed pudding can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 5 days, making it perfect for meal prep.
- For a creamier texture, blend the chia seed mixture after it thickens.
- Customize by adding cocoa powder for a chocolate version, or mix in mashed banana for natural sweetness.
