Ingredients
Scale
Basic Ingredients
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup milk or milk alternative (almond, coconut, or regular milk)
- 1 tablespoon sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or agave syrup)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a bowl or jar, mix the chia seeds, milk or milk alternative, sweetener, and vanilla extract thoroughly to prevent any clumps from forming.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the mixture and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and swell, creating a pudding-like texture.
- Stir and Serve: In the morning, remove the chia pudding from the refrigerator, stir well to combine, and enjoy as is or with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- Mix thoroughly to avoid clumps of chia seeds.
- Adjust the chia seed to liquid ratio for preferred consistency—more seeds for thicker pudding, more liquid for thinner.
- Experiment with different milk types and sweeteners to suit dietary preferences.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to five days and stir before serving.
- Customize with toppings like fruits, nuts, cocoa powder, or shredded coconut for variety.
