Ingredients
  

Base Chia Pudding
  • 1/2 cup chia seeds black or white
  • 2 cups milk almond, coconut, dairy, or any other milk
  • 1-2 tbsp maple syrup or honey, agave, or keto-friendly sweetener, to taste
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Equipment

  • 1 Mixing Bowl or Jar
  • 1 Whisk or Spoon

Method
 

  1. In a jar or bowl, add the chia seeds, milk, maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract.
  2. Whisk the ingredients together vigorously until fully combined and no clumps remain.
  3. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the seeds to start gelling. Then, give it a second thorough stir to break up any clumps and ensure a smooth consistency.
  4. Cover the container and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until it has thickened into a rich, creamy pudding.
  5. Stir the pudding one last time before serving. If it is too thick for your liking, add an extra splash of milk. Serve chilled with your favorite toppings like fresh fruit, nuts, or granola.
