Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup Chia Seeds
  • 1 cup Almond Milk (or other plant-based milk)
  • 1-2 tablespoons Maple Syrup (or other sweetener)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • Optional Toppings

In a jar or container with a lid, combine the chia seeds, almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.

Stir well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed.

Place the lid on the 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.

Before serving, stir the pudding well. If it's too thick, add a splash of more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.

Top with your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, sliced bananas, nuts, seeds, coconut flakes, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
