Ingredients
- 0.25 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- 0.5 cup fresh berries (optional for serving)
- 2 tablespoons sliced almonds (optional for serving)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chia seeds, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Step 2
Stir the ingredients together thoroughly to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed in the liquid.
Step 3
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture into a mason jar with a lid.
Step 4
Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight, so it can thicken into a pudding consistency. Stir the mixture after the first 30 minutes to prevent clumping of seeds.
Step 5
Once set, the chia pudding should have a similar texture to tapioca pudding: creamy and thick.
Step 6
Divide the chia seed pudding into two bowls or jars.
Step 7
Top with fresh berries and sliced almonds, if desired, before serving.
Step 8
The pudding can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Enjoy!
