Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 pinch salt
- 0 fresh fruit or nuts (optional for topping)
Directions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl or a medium-sized jar, combine the chia seeds, almond milk, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt.
Step 2
Stir well to ensure the chia seeds are well distributed and there are no clumps. If using a jar, you can put the lid on and shake the mixture vigorously.
Step 3
Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes, then stir again to break up any chia seed clumps that may form.
Step 4
Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results. The chia seeds will expand and absorb the liquid, turning into a pudding-like texture.
Step 5
Once set, give the pudding a good stir before serving. Divide into two serving bowls.
Step 6
Top with fresh fruit or nuts of your choice if desired. Enjoy chilled.
