Instructions
In a small bowl or mason jar with a lid add the milk, chia seeds and maple syrup. Whisk together in a bowl or if using a mason jar add a lid to the mason jar and give it a good shake to mix. If you notice any chia seeds clumping, use the whisk to break them up.
Set the pudding mixture in the refrigerator for 3 hours or overnight. Seeds may stick together while it sets so mix it up really well with a small whisk frequently while it sets.
The pudding is ready when it is thick with a pudding consistency. Serve for breakfast in the morning, as a healthy snack, or dessert top with fresh berries or your favorite fruits or toppings.
Notes
Notes 1. Optional to use Stevia drops to sweeten instead of maple syrup for a sugar-free chia pudding version, or honey if you are not worried about the recipe being vegan.Notes 2 about plant-based milk. The recipe calls for vanilla unsweeteened almond milk but you can do substitutions. If using plain almond milk, you can add ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract. If using sweetened almond milk do not add the maple syrup or extra sweetener as it will not be needed. Notes 3. Nutrition is calculated off of the the chia pudding without the fruit topping.Notes 4.Mason jars work great to shake the ingredients together! During settlement, the chia seeds may clump together. Check them after an hour and whisk them or use a fork to break them apart. If making this for overnight, it may need to be done again in the morning. Serves 1-2.
