Ingredients
- 0.25 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup fresh berries (such as blueberries or strawberries)
- 2 tablespoons sliced almonds
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the chia seeds, unsweetened almond milk, pure maple syrup, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon.
Step 2
Whisk the mixture thoroughly to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed and not clumping together.
Step 3
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid, and place it in the refrigerator.
Step 4
Allow the chia seed mixture to set and thicken for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight for the best texture.
Step 5
Before serving, give the pudding a good stir. If the mixture is too thick for your liking, add a little more almond milk to achieve your desired consistency.
Step 6
Divide the pudding into two serving dishes.
Step 7
Top each serving with fresh berries and a tablespoon of sliced almonds.
Step 8
Serve immediately or store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
