Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds Must-have ingredient
  • 3/4 cup milk (dairy, almond, oat, coconut, whatever you like) Use according to preference
  • 1-2 teaspoons sweetener (maple syrup, honey, or a little sugar) Customize sweetness
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla Optional but enhances flavor
  • 1 pinch salt Enhances the overall flavor
Optional Add-ins
  • 1 teaspoon cocoa powder For a chocolate flavor
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon For flavor
  • 1 spoon yogurt For extra creaminess
  • 1/2 banana mashed For natural sweetness

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Add the milk, sweetener, vanilla, and a tiny pinch of salt to a jar or bowl. Stir it up first so the sweetener dissolves.
  2. Sprinkle in the chia seeds and stir right away. Make sure you scrape the bottom and edges.
  3. Wait 5 minutes, then stir again. This second stir is essential to break up any clumps before they set.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, but overnight is the best texture.

Notes

This pudding can hold up well in the fridge for 4 to 5 days. Stir in a splash of milk before eating if you want it creamier. Avoid adding crunchy toppings until right before eating to keep them crisp.
