Packed with fiber, protein, and healthy fats, Vanilla Chia Pudding is a versatile base that pairs beautifully with a variety of toppings, like fresh berries, nuts, or a drizzle of honey.
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup milk of your choice (almond, coconut, oat, or dairy)
- 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Fresh fruit, nuts, or granola for topping (optional)
Instructions:
- Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the chia seeds, milk, maple syrup or honey, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Let it Set: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. Stir the mixture once or twice during the first hour to prevent clumping.
- Check Consistency: After the chia pudding has set, it should have a thick, pudding-like consistency. If it’s too thick, you can add a little extra milk to reach your desired texture.
- Serve: Spoon the pudding into serving bowls or jars and top with your favorite fresh fruit, nuts, granola, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
