Ingredients
- 0.25 cup Chia seeds
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the chia seeds and almond milk.
Step 2
Add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the bowl.
Step 3
Whisk all the ingredients together thoroughly. Make sure the chia seeds are evenly distributed in the almond milk to prevent clumping.
Step 4
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid, and place it in the refrigerator.
Step 5
Allow the mixture to sit in the fridge for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to let the chia seeds absorb the liquid and thicken.
Step 6
Before serving, stir the pudding well to break up any clumps and ensure a smooth, creamy consistency.
Step 7
Serve the chia pudding in individual bowls or jars. You can enjoy it on its own or top with fresh berries, chopped nuts, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for added flavor.
