2.5 tbsp Peanut Butter Substitutions like almond butter work beautifully too.
5 tbsp Chia Seeds Opt for organic black chia seeds for the best results.
1/4 cup Almond Milk Feel free to swap it for oat or dairy milk as per your preference.
0.75 tsp Vanilla Extract Essential for that delightful taste.
1 pinch Sea Salt A pinch goes a long way to avoid overpowering flavors.
1 tbsp Maple Syrup Honey or agave syrup can also serve as alternatives.

1 banana Banana Slices add a creamy sweetness and texture.
2 tbsp Almond Flakes Toasted for a crunchy element.
1 cup Berries Choose your favorites such as strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries.
2 tbsp Shredded Coconut A great way to diversify textures.
1 tbsp Cacao Nibs Use sparingly to maintain balance in flavors.

In a bowl or mason jar, mix 2.5 tbsp peanut butter with 1/4 cup almond milk until smooth and creamy.
Stir in 5 tbsp chia seeds, 0.75 tsp vanilla, 1 tbsp maple syrup, and a pinch of sea salt.
Pour in 3/4 cup almond milk and mix well until all ingredients are combined.
Let the pudding chill for at least 1 hour, stirring every 15-20 minutes during the first 30-40 minutes.
As the pudding sets, slice banana, toast almond flakes, and gather berries and other toppings.
Spoon pudding into bowls, layer toppings, and serve immediately.

Optional: Drizzle a little extra maple syrup on top for an added touch of sweetness.
