Total Time: 5 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Fresh fruit for topping
Instructions
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the chia seeds and almond milk, stirring thoroughly to ensure the seeds are evenly distributed and not clumping together.
- Add the maple syrup and vanilla extract to the chia seed mixture, whisking gently to incorporate all ingredients completely and create a smooth, consistent texture.
- Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and create a pudding-like consistency.
- Before serving, give the pudding a gentle stir to break up any potential seed clusters and ensure a creamy texture.
- Transfer the chia pudding into serving glasses or bowls, dividing the mixture evenly between two portions.
- Top the pudding with a variety of fresh fruits such as sliced strawberries, blueberries, diced mango, or chopped banana to add color, flavor, and additional nutritional value.
- Optional: Garnish with a sprinkle of additional chia seeds, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a dash of cinnamon for extra flavor complexity.
- Serve chilled and enjoy immediately for the best taste and texture.
Tips
- Whisk thoroughly: To prevent chia seed clumping, spend an extra minute whisking the mixture carefully.
- Refrigeration is key: Allow at least 2-3 hours of chilling time for the perfect pudding consistency.
- Customize your toppings: Experiment with different fruits, nuts, or a sprinkle of coconut to keep things exciting.
- Use fresh almond milk for the best flavor and texture.
- If the pudding seems too thick, add a splash more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Make ahead tip: This pudding can be prepared the night before for a grab-and-go breakfast.
- For extra protein, consider adding a scoop of your favorite vegan protein powder during the mixing stage.
