Ingredients

Chia Seeds

  • 1/2 cup Chia Seeds Packed with fiber, protein, and omega-3 fatty acids.

Milk

  • 2 cups Milk (or dairy-free alternative) Choose your preferred type of milk for flavor.

Sweetener

  • 2-4 tablespoons Sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar) Adjust sweetness to your liking.

Vanilla

  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Adds depth and warmth to the pudding.

Salt

  • 1 pinch Salt Enhances sweetness and balances flavors.

Instructions

  • Gather all your ingredients: chia seeds, milk, sweetener, vanilla extract, and salt.
  • In a mixing bowl or a large jar, combine the chia seeds and milk. Stir thoroughly to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
  • Add your chosen sweetener and vanilla extract to the mixture. Stir again to incorporate these ingredients fully.
  • Add a pinch of salt to the mixture and stir until all ingredients are well combined.
  • Cover the bowl or jar with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator.
  • Let it chill for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid.
  • Check the pudding’s texture; it should be thick and creamy. Adjust with more milk if necessary.
  • Spoon the pudding into individual bowls or jars for serving. Add toppings like fresh fruits or granola if desired.
  • Enjoy your chia pudding right away or store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to five days.

Notes

Consider adding cocoa powder for a chocolate version or blending in fruits for a fruit-infused pudding.
