Easy Chia Seed Pudding

• servings: 2 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 1 hour 10 minutes

Ingredients

4 Tablespoons chia seeds

1 cup almond milk

½ Tablespoon maple syrup (honey or sweetener of choice*)

¼ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Toppings of choice: fresh berries or other fruit (granola, nut butter, etc)

Directions

Mix

In a bowl or mason jar, stir together chia seeds, milk, maple syrup and vanilla, if using. If you’re using a mason jar, you can put the lid on and shake the mixture to combine everything.

Set

Once the chia pudding mixture is well combined, let it sit for 5 minutes, give it another stir/shake to break up any clumps of chia seeds, cover and put the mixture in the fridge to “set" for 1-2 hours or overnight. The chia pudding should be nice and thick, not liquidy. If it's not thick enough, just add more chia seeds (about 1 Tablespoon), stir and refrigerate for another 30 minutes or so.

Store

Chia pudding can be stored for up to 5-7 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
