Description
Prepare a simple, creamy chia seed pudding base and top it with fresh berries for a healthy breakfast or light dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
Instructions
- Combine the chia seeds, almond milk, sweetener (if using), and vanilla extract in a jar or container.
- Stir the mixture well for about one minute to prevent the seeds from clumping at the bottom.
- Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until the mixture thickens to a pudding consistency.
- Before serving, stir the pudding again. If it is too thick, add a splash more almond milk until you reach your desired creaminess.
- Spoon the pudding into serving bowls or glasses.
- Top generously with the mixed fresh berries.
Notes
- For a creamier texture, use full-fat coconut milk instead of almond milk.
- If you prefer a sweeter pudding, increase the maple syrup to 1.5 tablespoons.
- You can prepare the pudding base up to three days in advance and store it covered in the refrigerator. Add the berries just before serving.
