Ingredients
  

Main
  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 cup almond milk or any milk of your choice
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
  • Fresh fruit granola, or nut butter for topping

Method
 

  1. Grab a small jar or bowl. Add the chia seeds, almond milk, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract if using. Stir it well to avoid clumps.
  2. Let the mixture sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes. Stir it again to break up any clumping.
  3. Cover the container and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
  4. Before serving, give the pudding a final stir. Add a splash of milk if the texture is too thick.
  5. Top with fresh fruit, granola, nut butter, or your choice of toppings before serving.

Notes

This chia pudding is highly customizable. Try adding cocoa powder for a chocolate version, peanut butter and jam for a PB&J style, or mashed banana and cinnamon for a banana bread flavor. It stores well in the fridge for up to 5 days, making it great for meal prep.
