CHIA SEED PUDDING

by

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice: coconut, oat, dairy, etc.)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to your taste)
  • Fresh fruit (berries, banana, etc.) for topping
  • Optional toppings: nuts, coconut flakes, granola, or chocolate chips

Instructions:

  1. Mix the Ingredients:
    • In a small bowl or jar, combine the chia seeds, almond milk, vanilla extract, and honey or maple syrup.
    • Stir well to make sure the chia seeds are fully mixed into the liquid.
  2. Let it Set:
    • Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate for at least 2-4 hours, or overnight. Stir the mixture after the first 10-15 minutes to prevent clumping.
    • The chia seeds will absorb the liquid and form a pudding-like consistency.
  3. Check the Consistency:
    • After it has set, give the pudding a stir. If it’s too thick, you can add a little more milk to adjust the texture.
  4. Serve:
    • Top the chia seed pudding with your favorite toppings like fresh fruit, nuts, coconut flakes, or granola for added flavor and texture.

Tips:

  • For extra creaminess, you can use coconut milk or add a spoonful of Greek yogurt to the mixture.
  • Make different flavors by adding cocoa powder for chocolate chia pudding or blending in fruit puree before setting.

Enjoy your creamy and healthy chia seed pudding!
