It’s made with chia seeds, milk, and sweetener, creating a thick, pudding-like texture that is great for breakfast, snacks, or dessert.

🛒 Ingredients (Serves 2-4)

Basic Chia Seed Pudding:

• 1/4 cup chia seeds
• 1 cup milk (almond, coconut, oat, or dairy milk)
• 1 tbsp maple syrup, honey, or agave (adjust to taste)
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional, for extra flavor)
• Pinch of salt

Optional Toppings & Mix-ins:

• Fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
• Sliced banana or mango
• Nut butter (almond, peanut, or cashew)
• Coconut flakes or chopped nuts
• Cocoa powder for a chocolate version
• Cinnamon or matcha powder for added flavor

🔪 Instructions

Step 1: Mix the Ingredients

1. In a medium bowl or jar, combine chia seeds, milk, sweetener, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
2. Stir well to fully combine and prevent clumping.

Step 2: Let it Thicken

1. Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight for best results).
2. After 10-15 minutes, stir the mixture again to ensure the chia seeds distribute evenly.

Step 3: Check the Texture & Serve

1. The pudding should be thick and creamy after chilling. If it’s too thick, add a little more milk and stir.
2. Stir well and top with your favorite fruits, nuts, or toppings.
