Description

Chia Seed Pudding is a simple, nutritious, and delicious plant-based treat made by soaking chia seeds in creamy plant-based milk, sweetened naturally and flavored with vanilla extract. Perfect for breakfast, dessert, or a healthy snack, this pudding is rich in fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, and protein, offering a satisfying, guilt-free indulgence that can be customized with your favorite fruits and flavors.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 cup plant-based milk (almond, oat, or coconut)
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons natural sweetener (maple syrup, agave nectar, or honey)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • Optional: 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Toppings

  • Fresh fruit toppings such as berries, mango, or banana
  • Optional garnishes: sliced almonds, shredded coconut, cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a bowl or jar, whisk together the plant-based milk, natural sweetener, and vanilla extract (natural) until fully blended. Then add the chia seeds and stir well to ensure they are evenly distributed.
  2. Let It Rest: Cover the mixture and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight. This resting time allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken, creating that signature pudding texture.
  3. Stir and Serve: Before serving, give the pudding a good stir to break up any clumps and create an even consistency. Add your favorite fresh fruits or toppings, then enjoy!

Notes

  • Use fresh plant-based milk and natural sweeteners for best flavor.
  • Stir chia seeds thoroughly initially to prevent clumping.
  • Adjust sweetness before chilling according to your taste.
  • Add a natural gelling agent if you prefer a firmer pudding.
  • Refrigerate long enough to achieve perfect consistency.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Do not freeze as texture changes upon thawing.
  • Enjoy cold or at room temperature; stir before serving if too thick.
