Vanilla Chia Pudding
A creamy and nutritious Vanilla Chia Pudding recipe, perfect for a healthy breakfast or snack.
Equipment
- bowl or mason jar
Ingredients
- ½ cup chia seeds
- 2 cups plant-based milk
- 1 Tablespoon maple syrup or honey or sweetener of choice
- ½ Tablespoon vanilla or vanilla bean paste
- Toppings of choice fresh berries or other fruit, granola, nut butter, etc.
Instructions
- In a bowl or mason jar, stir together chia seeds, milk, maple syrup and vanilla, if using. If you’re using a mason jar, you can put the lid on and shake the mixture to combine everything.
- Once the chia pudding mixture is well combined, let it sit for 5 minutes, give it another stir/shake to break up any clumps of chia seeds, cover and put the mixture in the fridge to “set” for 1-2 hours or overnight.
- The chia pudding should be nice and thick, not liquidy. If it’s not thick enough, just add more chia seeds (about 1 Tablespoon), stir and refrigerate for another 30 minutes or so.
- Store any leftover chia pudding in the fridge in a covered container for 5-7 days.
Notes
Low sugar option: feel free to use a sugar alternative like stevia or monk fruit to sweeten. To make the chia pudding more filling, add a scoop of vanilla protein powder to the mixture during the first step.
