Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

Base

1 cup plain yogurt (Greek or regular)
1 cup almond milk or non-dairy milk of your choice
2 tablespoons maple syrup optional for sweetness
1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional for flavor
0.25 cup chia seeds

Toppings (Optional)

1 cup fresh fruit e.g. strawberries, blackberries, banana slices
0.5 cup nuts or seeds e.g. almonds, walnuts, sunflower seeds

Method

In a medium bowl, whisk together the yogurt, almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Stir in the chia seeds and let the mixture rest for five minutes. Then stir again to break up any clumps.
Cover the bowl with stretch film or transfer into jars with lids. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
When ready to serve, stir again and add your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit or crunchy nuts. Enjoy cold.

Notes

Stir the mixture twice within the first 10 minutes to prevent clumping. For a thicker pudding, use Greek yogurt and chill overnight. Add protein powder or nut butter for extra richness. For kids, layer with fruit purée for a fun twist. Always taste before serving to adjust sweetness or flavor.
