Chia Pudding
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1/2 cup plant-based milk of your choice (I like oat milk!)
- 1 tsp maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp vanilla (optional)
- desired toppings (see notes)
Instructions
- Combine the milk, maple syrup and vanilla into a mason jar or a bowl.
- Add the chia seeds and stir to combine.
- Let sit for 2-5 minutes and then stir again to make sure there are no clumps!
- Cover the chia mixture and let set in the fridge for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight. (I usually let it set overnight, I like the texture after it sets the full night. Plus it’s a super easy meal prep the night before.)
- The chia seed mixture will become a creamy and thick pudding.
- When you are ready to eat, stir again and add your desired toppings.
- Serve in a bowl or enjoy the pudding right out of the mason jar!
Notes
This chia seed pudding recipe takes five minutes to make, seriously, it’s so fast! In the summer months, we want to focus on recipes that are cool, quick and fuel us for the longer days. We love this recipe as the ingredient list is simple and combines many staples that you already have in your kitchen. If you’re looking for something to pair with your pudding, try our maple tahini granola. You can combine the two for a sweet and crunchy mixture.
