Ingredients

Main Ingredients

1/2 cup Chia seeds A superfood packed with omega-3s and fiber.
2 cups Milk or dairy alternative (almond, coconut, oat milk) Adds creaminess; choose your favorite.
2 tablespoons Sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or sugar substitute) For sweetness.
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract Enhances flavor beautifully.
Optional as needed Fresh fruit (bananas, berries, or any favorite) For topping and added flavor.

Method

Preparation

In a mixing bowl, combine chia seeds, milk, sweetener, and vanilla extract.
Stir well to combine all ingredients, ensuring no clumps of chia seeds remain.
Cover the bowl, or transfer the mixture into individual jars.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best results.
Before serving, stir the pudding again and top with fresh fruit or other toppings of your choice.

Notes

For extra creaminess, blend the mixture after combining the ingredients before refrigerating. Experiment with different plant-based milks to find your favorite flavor. Add a pinch of salt to enhance sweetness and flavor. Use a mason jar for convenient storage and an easy grab-and-go option.
