Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Base
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 0.5 cup milk (almond, coconut, oat, etc.)
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey optional
  • 0.25 teaspoon vanilla extract optional

Method
 

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a jar or bowl, combine chia seeds, milk, and any sweeteners or flavorings. Whisk well or shake if using a jar with a lid.
  2. Let It Sit and Stir Again: Let the mixture sit for 5–15 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping and ensure even distribution.
  3. Chill: Cover and refrigerate for 2–4 hours or overnight until thickened to a pudding consistency.

Notes

To adjust texture, use 2½–3 tablespoons of chia seeds for thicker pudding or add more milk for a thinner version. Customize flavors by adding fruit, cocoa, nut butters, spices, or extracts.
Top with fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, granola, yogurt, or a drizzle of nut butter or honey for added taste and texture.
