Here’s a simple and delicious chia seed pudding recipe you can make in minutes (though it’s best chilled for a few hours or overnight).
Ingredients (for 2 servings)
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 cup milk of your choice (almond, coconut, oat, or dairy)
- 1–2 teaspoons sweetener (honey, maple syrup, agave, or sugar)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Fresh fruit, nuts, or granola for topping
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients
In a bowl or jar, combine chia seeds, milk, sweetener, and vanilla extract. Stir well to prevent clumping. - Rest & Absorb
Let the mixture sit for 5–10 minutes, then stir again. This ensures the chia seeds don’t stick together. - Chill
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, ideally overnight. The pudding will thicken as the chia seeds absorb the liquid. - Serve
Top with your favorite fruits (berries, banana slices), nuts, coconut flakes, or granola. Enjoy!
Tips
- For a creamier texture, blend the mixture before refrigerating.
- Adjust sweetness after chilling if needed.
- Add cocoa powder or matcha powder for flavored variations.
