Ingredients
- 3 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 cup plant-based milk (almond, coconut, or oat milk)
- 1 tbsp sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or agave)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- pinch salt
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients – In a bowl or jar, combine chia seeds, milk, sweetener, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to distribute the seeds evenly.
- Let It Rest – Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight. Stir again after 10–15 minutes to prevent clumping.
- Check the Consistency – Once the pudding has thickened, stir again. If it’s too thick, add a little more milk and mix.
- Serve & Enjoy – Top with fresh fruit, nuts, granola, or a drizzle of nut butter.
Notes
- Use the Right Ratio – The standard ratio is 1 part chia seeds to 3–4 parts liquid for a creamy texture.
- Give It Time – Let it soak for at least 2 hours, but overnight is best.
- Stir Twice – Stir once when mixing and again after 10–15 minutes to avoid clumps.
- Use Fresh Chia Seeds – Older chia seeds may not absorb liquid as effectively.
