Ingredients
  

Chia Seed Pudding Base
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or any plant-based milk of your choice
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds black or white chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey, adjust to taste
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure vanilla extract for flavor
Berry Topping
  • 1 cup mixed berries such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries
Optional Garnishes
  • 2 tablespoons coconut flakes unsweetened for topping
  • 2 tablespoons nuts such as almonds or walnuts, chopped

Method
 

Prepare the Chia Seed Pudding
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  2. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken the mixture.
Assemble and Serve
  1. Once the chia seed pudding has thickened, stir it well to break up any clumps. If it's too thick, you can add a splash more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
  2. Divide the pudding into serving bowls or jars. Top each serving with the mixed berries.
  3. Garnish with optional coconut flakes and chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.

Notes

For a creamier pudding, try adding a tablespoon of nut butter when mixing the base. You can also substitute the maple syrup with agave nectar or stevia for a lower-calorie option. Feel free to experiment with different fruits based on the season!
