Method
-
- Combine Chia Seeds and Milk:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chia seeds and almond milk. Stir well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed in the milk.
- Add Sweetener and Vanilla:
- Add honey or maple syrup for sweetness, adjusting to your taste preferences.
- Stir in the vanilla extract for a delightful aroma and flavor.
- Mix Thoroughly:
- Stir the mixture vigorously to prevent clumping of the chia seeds.
- Refrigerate:
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate it for at least 2 hours or overnight. During this time, the chia seeds will absorb the liquid and create a pudding-like consistency.
- Serve:
- Once the chia pudding has set, give it a good stir to fluff it up. You can add a little more almond milk if you prefer a thinner consistency.
- Toppings (Optional):
- Serve your Healthy Basic Chia Pudding with your favorite toppings, such as fresh berries, sliced bananas, chopped nuts, a drizzle of honey or maple syrup, and a sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired.

- Savor the creamy and nutritious goodness of your Chia Pudding. It makes for a perfect breakfast or a healthy dessert.
Pro Tips- Experiment with different toppings like coconut flakes, cacao nibs, or dried fruits.
