Scale
Main Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 cup plant-based milk (almond, coconut, oat, or soy milk)
- 1 to 2 tablespoons natural sweetener (maple syrup, agave, or date syrup)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Mix the Ingredients: Combine chia seeds, plant-based milk, natural sweetener, vanilla extract (natural), and a pinch of salt in a bowl or jar. Stir well to break up any clumps, ensuring the seeds are evenly dispersed in the liquid.
- Let it Rest: Cover the mixture and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight. During this time, chia seeds absorb the liquid and thicken into a luscious pudding-like texture.
- Stir and Serve: After chilling, stir the pudding once more to achieve the perfect creamy consistency. Serve as is or with your favorite toppings like fresh fruits, nuts, or a drizzle of additional natural sweetener.
Notes
- Stir the mixture a few times within the first 30 minutes to prevent clumps forming.
- Adjust milk quantity to control pudding firmness use less milk for thicker pudding or more for creamier texture.
- Add spices or extracts to the milk before soaking for deeper, richer aromas.
- Use fresh chia seeds for the best texture and nutrition.
- Prepare in individual jars for easy grab-and-go meals or snacks.
