Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 cup milk or milk alternative (almond, coconut, oat, or dairy)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Sweetener (optional)

  • 1–2 teaspoons natural sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or agave)

Fruit Toppings

  • Fresh fruit of choice (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, mango, pineapple)

Instructions

  1. Mix the Chia Seeds and Liquid: In a bowl or jar, combine 3 tablespoons of chia seeds with 1 cup of your chosen milk or milk alternative. Stir well to prevent clumps and initiate the thickening process.
  2. Sweeten and Flavor: Add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract and your preferred natural sweetener (if using), then stir again to evenly distribute the flavors.
  3. Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the mixture and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight, allowing the chia seeds to swell and turn into a pudding-like consistency.
  4. Add Fresh Fruit: When ready to serve, stir the pudding to combine, then top generously with your choice of fresh fruit for sweetness, color, and texture.
  5. Enjoy Immediately or Store: Serve right away for the freshest experience, or keep it sealed in the fridge for up to five days as a convenient grab-and-go breakfast.

Notes

  • Measure Precisely: Use a 3:1 liquid to chia seeds ratio for optimal pudding texture.
  • Stir Multiple Times: Stir the mixture a couple of times within the first 15 minutes after mixing to prevent clumps.
  • Add Fruit Just Before Serving: Keeps fruit fresh, flavorful, and prevents sogginess.
  • Use Organic Ingredients: Enhances natural flavors and nutrient quality.
  • Adjust Thickness: Modify the amount of liquid to achieve your preferred consistency—less liquid for thicker pudding, more for creamier texture.
