Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Chia seeds
- 2 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons Pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Fresh berries (optional, for topping)
- 0.25 cup Toasted coconut flakes (optional, for topping)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add 0.5 cup of chia seeds.
Step 2
Pour in 2 cups of unsweetened almond milk, ensuring the milk is well chilled.
Step 3
Add 2 tablespoons of pure maple syrup and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the bowl.
Step 4
Sprinkle in 0.125 teaspoon of salt to enhance the flavors.
Step 5
Whisk all the ingredients together thoroughly to ensure the chia seeds are evenly dispersed and don’t clump together.
Step 6
Cover the bowl with a lid or use a stretch of plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator.
Step 7
Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken to a pudding-like consistency.
Step 8
Once set, give the chia seed pudding a good stir. If it's too thick for your liking, you can loosen it up by stirring in a little more almond milk.
Step 9
Serve the pudding in individual bowls or glasses.
Step 10
Top with fresh berries and toasted coconut flakes if desired for added flavor and texture before serving.
