Here’s a simple and versatile recipe for Chia Seed Pudding—healthy, creamy, and customizable:
Ingredients (Serves 2)
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy like almond, coconut, or oat milk)
- 1–2 tsp sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or agave)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- Optional toppings: fresh fruit, nuts, granola, shredded coconut, chocolate chips
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients:
- In a bowl or jar, combine chia seeds, milk, sweetener, and vanilla extract.
- Stir well to prevent clumps.
- Refrigerate:
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours, ideally overnight.
- Stir once or twice during the first 30 minutes to prevent seeds from settling.
- Check Consistency:
- The pudding should be thick and creamy.
- If too thick, stir in a little more milk.
- Serve:
- Spoon into bowls or jars.
- Add toppings like berries, banana slices, nuts, or a drizzle of honey.
💡 Tips
- Flavor variations: Mix in cocoa powder for chocolate pudding, matcha for green tea flavor, or cinnamon for warmth.
- Meal prep: Make several jars at once for easy grab-and-go breakfasts or snacks.
- Texture: If you prefer smoother pudding, blend the mixture for 30 seconds before refrigerating.
