Chia Pudding
Chia pudding is a popular and healthy breakfast or snack dish made from chia seeds and a liquid such as almond milk, coconut milk, or dairy milk. It is then complimented with toppings, such as fresh fruit, berries and nuts. It's delicious!
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- ½ cup milk of your choice (such as almond milk, coconut milk, or dairy milk)
- 1 tsp honey, maple syrup, or stevia (as a sweetener)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the chia seeds, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir well until the chia seeds are evenly distributed. If desired, add sweetener to taste and stir again.
- Let the mixture sit for at least 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent clumping. You can also refrigerate the mixture overnight to allow it to thicken further.
- Once the chia seeds have absorbed the liquid and formed a pudding-like texture, give the mixture a final stir and transfer it to a serving dish.
- Serve the chia pudding as is or top with your favorite fruits, nuts, or granola for added flavor and nutrition!
Notes
The ratio of chia seeds to liquid can vary depending on the desired consistency of your pudding. Some recipes call for a 1:4 or 1:5 ratio of chia seeds to liquid, while others use a 1:3 ratio. Adjust the amount of liquid to your liking if you prefer a thicker or thinner consistency.
