Ingredients
Chia Pudding Base
- 2 cups non-dairy milk (almond or coconut recommended)
- 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 2-3 tbsp pure maple syrup, to taste
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Berries
- 1/2 cup strawberries, fresh or frozen
- 1/2 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
- 1/2 cup raspberries, fresh or frozen
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl or mason jar, thoroughly mix together the non-dairy milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and all the berries until evenly distributed.
- Refrigerate: Cover the mixture and place it in the refrigerator overnight or for at least 8 hours to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and create a pudding-like consistency.
- Serve: Give the pudding a good stir before serving. Enjoy it cold, garnished with extra berries if desired.
Notes
- Use any non-dairy milk of your choice; almond or coconut milk adds extra creaminess and flavor.
- Adjust the amount of maple syrup to suit your preferred sweetness level.
- Fresh or frozen berries work equally well; no need to thaw frozen berries before mixing.
- Make sure to allow enough refrigeration time for the chia seeds to fully gel and achieve the desired pudding texture.
- This recipe is naturally vegan and gluten-free.
