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!
