Ingredients
  • 6 tablespoons Chia Seeds
  • 1.5 cups Plant-Based Milk (Almond, Soy, or Oat)
  • 1 medium Ripe Banana
  • 2 tablespoons Maple Syrup
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons Chopped Walnuts or Pecans (Optional)

Combine Ingredients

In a medium-sized bowl or jar, mash the ripe banana until smooth. Add the chia seeds, plant-based milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cinnamon.

Mix Well

Stir all ingredients together thoroughly until well combined. Ensure there are no clumps of chia seeds.

Chill

Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and create a pudding-like consistency.

Stir and Serve

Before serving, stir the chia seed pudding well. If it's too thick, add a splash more plant-based milk to reach your desired consistency. Top with chopped walnuts or pecans, if desired.
