Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or sweetener of choice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine the chia seeds, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a jar or container.
- Stir the mixture well for about one minute to prevent the seeds from clumping at the bottom.
- Cover the container and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Stir the pudding again before serving. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash more milk until you reach your desired consistency.
- Serve cold with your preferred toppings.
Notes
- For a higher protein version, use soy milk or add one scoop of unflavored protein powder before refrigeration.
- If you prefer a thicker pudding, reduce the amount of milk slightly.
- This recipe is naturally gluten-free and dairy-free if you use a non-dairy milk like almond or oat milk.
