Chia Seed Pudding Delight (Printable Version)

Nutritious chia seeds soaked in milk with natural sweetener, chilled for a creamy, healthy treat.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Base

01 - 1/2 cup chia seeds
02 - 2 cups milk (dairy or plant-based such as almond, coconut, or oat)
03 - 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
04 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

→ Optional Toppings

05 - 1 cup mixed fresh fruit (e.g., berries, mango, banana)
06 - 2 tablespoons chopped nuts or seeds
07 - 1 tablespoon shredded coconut

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - In a medium bowl or jar, whisk together chia seeds, milk, maple syrup or honey, and vanilla extract until thoroughly incorporated.
02 - Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight, stirring once after 30 minutes to prevent seeds from clumping.
03 - Stir the pudding well to ensure a smooth, even texture before serving.
04 - Spoon into bowls or glasses and top with fresh fruit, chopped nuts, and shredded coconut as desired.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It's genuinely hands-off once you stir it together, perfect for when life gets hectic.
  • No cooking required means you can make it while your coffee brews.
  • It actually tastes like a treat while being packed with real nutrition.
02 -
  • Skip that 30-minute stir and you'll end up with clumps that no amount of stirring later can fix, so set a phone reminder if you need to.
  • The pudding thickens more as it sits, so if you made it two days ago, it might need a splash more milk to get back to spoonable.
03 -
  • Use a jar instead of a bowl for easy refrigerator storage and a built-in serving vessel that saves on dishes.
  • Stir your pudding right before bed if you remember, since the 30-minute stir can happen while you're getting ready instead of you having to set a timer.
