Chia Seed Pudding

Ingredients

  • 2 cups of your favorite milk or dairy-free alternative
  • 2 Tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch of sea salt
  • 6 Tablespoons chia seeds

Preparation

  1. In a bowl or large measuring cup stir together the milk of choice, maple syrup, vanilla extract, chia seeds and a pinch of salt. Allow to sit, stirring occasionally for about 20 minutes to allow the seeds to soften and swell. The mixture will thicken slightly.
  2. Divide the mixture into your favorite serving containers - like small bowls or jars. It will continue to thicken as it sets. Cover and refrigerate for up to 10 days. Top with fruit of choice and enjoy!
  3. The nutrition information will vary according to the "milk" you choose. I like a combination of reduced fat coconut milk and almond milk - but feel free to choose your favorite - maybe even chocolate milk! The nutrition information for this recipe is using unsweetened almond milk (which is lower in protein than other options) and does not include the fruit topping which will vary depending on your choice.
