How to Make Chia Seed Pudding
- In a medium bowl, whisk together your almond milk and chia seeds. Make sure to blend thoroughly to prevent clumping for a smooth finish.
- Stir in the maple syrup, optional vanilla extract, and a pinch of kosher salt. Mixing well here pumps up the flavor all through the pudding.
- Allow the mixture to sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes. After this, whisk again to ensure an even consistency, reducing any clumps that might have formed.
- Cover and place the bowl in the refrigerator overnight or for at least 8 hours. This allows the chia seeds to expand and thicken the pudding to perfection.
- When morning arrives, give the pudding a hearty stir, and serve it in bowls or jars. Don’t forget to top with your favorite sliced fruits, crunchy granola, or fresh nuts for that extra bit of goodness.
