Ingredients
Scale
Chia Pudding
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- ½ cup almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 tablespoon honey (or other sweetener, optional)
Topping
- Fresh fruit for topping (e.g., strawberries, blueberries)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a jar, combine chia seeds, almond milk, and honey. Mix well until fully combined to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
- Initial Rest: Let the mixture rest for 2–3 minutes to allow the chia seeds to begin absorbing the liquid, which helps prevent clumping.
- Stir Thoroughly: Stir the mixture again thoroughly to eliminate any clumps and ensure a smooth pudding texture.
- Refrigerate: Cover the jar and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to fully absorb the liquid and create a creamy pudding consistency.
- Add Toppings and Serve: Before serving, top the pudding with fresh fruit of your choice such as strawberries or blueberries for added flavor and nutrition.
Notes
- Use any type of milk you prefer such as dairy, soy, oat, or coconut milk to suit your taste and dietary needs.
- Honey is optional and can be substituted with maple syrup, agave nectar, or another sweetener of choice.
- For best texture, stir the pudding a couple of times during the resting period to prevent clumping.
- Chia pudding can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Add nuts, seeds, or granola on top for extra crunch and nutrition if desired.
