1 cup almond milk (unsweetened or sweetened, based on preference)
3 tbsp chia seeds
1-2 tsp maple syrup or honey (optional, for sweetness)
½ tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Fresh berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries) for topping
Nuts or granola, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
Mix ingredients: In a small bowl or jar, combine the almond milk, chia seeds, maple syrup or honey, and vanilla extract. Stir well to mix.
Refrigerate: Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight. Stir once after about 30 minutes to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
Serve: Once the pudding has thickened, give it a final stir. Top with fresh berries, nuts, or granola.
Tips:
For extra creaminess, use a blend of almond milk and coconut milk.
This pudding keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 days, making it perfect for meal prep.
