Description
A creamy, velvety pudding made with chia seeds and almond milk, perfect for a healthy breakfast or light dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup chia seeds (about 48 g)
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (240 ml)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1–2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
- Fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, or spices for topping (optional)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the chia seeds, almond milk, vanilla extract, and sweetener (if using) for 20–30 seconds.
- Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes, then whisk again to avoid clumping.
- Cover the bowl (or divide into jars) and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, ideally overnight, until thickened.
- Once set, stir the pudding to ensure a uniform texture, adding a splash of milk if too thick.
- Serve chilled topped with sliced fruit, nuts, or other desired toppings.
Notes
Chia seeds can clump; avoid overmixing. Fresh chia seeds yield the best results.
