Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt (dairy or vegan)
- 1–2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a jar or container, combine the chia seeds, milk, yogurt, sweetener (if using), vanilla extract, and salt.
- Stir the mixture well for about one minute to prevent the chia seeds from clumping at the bottom.
- Cover the container and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Before serving, check the consistency. If it is too thick, stir in a tablespoon of milk or water until you reach your desired texture.
- Serve cold with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- For a vegan option, use a plant-based yogurt like almond or coconut yogurt.
- To boost protein, use Greek yogurt or a high-protein dairy milk.
- Add 1/4 cup of mashed banana or berries before chilling for natural sweetness and flavor.
- If you prefer a thinner pudding, increase the milk slightly. If you want it very thick, reduce the milk by one tablespoon.
