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.
