Ingredients
- 0.25 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup almond milk (or any preferred milk)

- 1 pinch salt
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the chia seeds, almond milk, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt.
Step 2
Stir the mixture well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed and do not clump together. This will help to create a smooth pudding texture.
Step 3
Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
Step 4
After refrigeration, remove the chia pudding from the fridge and give it a good stir to make sure the texture is thick and creamy.
Step 5
Serve the chia pudding in individual bowls or glasses. Top with your choice of fresh fruits, nuts, or any preferred toppings.
Step 6
Enjoy your creamy vanilla chia pudding as a healthy breakfast or a delightful snack!
