chia pudding

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup chia seeds
• 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup berries (fresh or frozen)
• 1 tablespoon shredded coconut (optional)

Instructions

1. In a jar or bowl, combine chia seeds and almond milk.
2. Stir well to ensure chia seeds are fully incorporated.
3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
4. After chilling, stir well. If the pudding is too thick, add a tablespoon or two of almond milk until desired consistency is reached.
5. Top with berries and shredded coconut (if using).

Notes

• For a richer pudding, use full-fat coconut milk instead of almond milk.
• Adjust the amount of maple syrup to your desired sweetness.
• To prevent clumping, you can blend the chia pudding for 30-60 seconds after it has set.
• Store leftover chia pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
