Description
Chia seed pudding is a creamy, nutritious dish that requires minimal effort but delivers maximum health benefits. Made with chia seeds and your choice of milk, it thickens overnight into a delicious pudding-like consistency.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- ½ cup milk (almond, coconut, dairy, or oat milk)
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Toppings: Fresh fruit, nuts, granola, coconut flakes, or chocolate chips
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a small bowl or jar, add the chia seeds, milk, sweetener, and vanilla extract. Stir well to combine.
- Let It Rest: Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping.
- Refrigerate: Cover and place in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or overnight, until thick and pudding-like.
- Serve: Stir once more before serving, then add your favorite toppings and enjoy!
Notes
Use a 2:1 liquid-to-chia seed ratio for the ideal texture.
Stir the mixture twice—once immediately and again after 5 minutes—to prevent clumping.
Refrigerate overnight for the best results.
Experiment with different flavors like cocoa powder, cinnamon, or blended fruit.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days for easy meal prep.
