Equipment

  • Mixing bowl or jar with lid
  • Whisk or spoon
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Plastic wrap (if using a bowl)

Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup chia seeds
  • 1 cup milk dairy or plant-based, such as almond, coconut, or oat milk
  • 1 –2 tablespoons sweetener honey, maple syrup, or agave, optional
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract optional

  • Nuts or seeds almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds
  • Granola
  • Coconut flakes

Instructions
 

  • Mix Ingredients:
  • In a mixing bowl or jar, combine the chia seeds, milk, sweetener (if using), and vanilla extract. Stir or whisk well to ensure the seeds are evenly distributed and not clumped together.
  • Let It Rest:
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or secure the lid on the jar. Place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for the best texture.
  • Stir Again:
  • After 15–20 minutes of refrigeration, give the mixture another stir to break up any clumps of chia seeds.
  • Check Consistency:
  • Once set, the chia pudding should have a creamy, pudding-like texture. If it’s too thick, you can stir in a splash of milk to loosen it up.
  • Serve and Top:
  • Divide the pudding into serving bowls or jars. Add your favorite toppings and enjoy!
