Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup almond milk or coconut milk (unsweetened)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Fresh berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries)
- Sliced almonds or chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions:
- In a bowl or glass jar, combine chia seeds and almond milk (or coconut milk). Stir well to prevent clumping.
- Add honey or maple syrup and vanilla extract to the mixture. Stir again to evenly distribute the sweetener and flavor.
- Cover the bowl or jar with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. During this time, the chia seeds will absorb the liquid and create a pudding-like consistency.
- After the pudding has set, give it a good stir to break up any clumps and ensure a smooth texture.
- Serve the chia seed pudding in individual serving dishes or jars.
- Top the pudding with a variety of fresh berries and sliced almonds or chopped nuts for added crunch and flavor.
- Enjoy the chia seed pudding as a healthy breakfast, snack, or dessert.
Chia seed pudding is not only delicious but also rich in fiber, healthy fats, and antioxidants. It's a versatile recipe that you can customize by adding different toppings like granola, coconut flakes, or dried fruits.
