Ingredients

• 1/4 cup chia seeds
• 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy like almond, soy, oat, or coconut milk)
• 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup, honey, or agave (adjust to taste)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
• Fresh fruit, nuts, granola, or a drizzle of extra sweetener for serving (optional)

Instructions

1. In a jar, bowl, or container with a lid, combine the chia seeds, milk, maple syrup (or other sweetener), and vanilla extract (if using).
2. Stir thoroughly with a spoon or whisk for 1-2 minutes, making sure to break up any clumps of chia seeds.
3. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then stir again to ensure even hydration and prevent the seeds from settling at the bottom.
4. Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, until the pudding has thickened to a creamy, gel-like consistency.
5. Before serving, give it a quick stir. If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk until you reach your desired consistency.
6. Serve chilled and customize with your favorite toppings like fresh berries, sliced banana, chopped nuts, granola, or an extra drizzle of maple syrup.
