Ingredients
Scale
Chia Pudding Base
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 cup milk of choice (such as almond, oat, or dairy milk)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1½ teaspoons honey (or more to taste)
- Pinch of sea salt (optional)
Toppings
- ½ cup fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or a mix)
- Extra honey for topping
- Extra fresh berries for topping
Instructions
- Combine the base: In a medium bowl or jar, stir together the chia seeds, milk, vanilla extract, honey, and sea salt until well combined. Mix thoroughly to prevent the seeds from clumping.
- Let it rest: Allow the mixture to sit for 5 to 10 minutes, then stir again to redistribute the seeds evenly and break up any clusters forming.
- Chill overnight: Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until the mixture thickens and develops a pudding-like consistency.
- Add the toppings: When ready to serve, stir the pudding once more. Spoon into a bowl or glass, and top with fresh berries and an extra drizzle of honey to taste.
Notes
- Use any milk alternative such as almond, oat, soy, or dairy milk based on personal preference.
- Adjust the amount of honey according to taste or dietary needs.
- Letting the pudding chill overnight enhances the texture.
- The recipe is naturally gluten-free and vegetarian.
- For added texture, consider mixing in nuts or seeds as toppings.
