Description

A simple, nutritious, and versatile chia seed pudding made by soaking chia seeds in your choice of milk. This easy-to-make pudding is packed with fiber, omega-3s, and protein, making it a perfect healthy breakfast or snack.


Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds

  • 1 cup milk or milk alternative (almond, coconut, or oat milk)

  • 1 teaspoon sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or stevia)

  • Optional: 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, cocoa powder, or fruit


Instructions

  1. Combine chia seeds and liquid in a jar or bowl.

  2. Add sweetener and any desired flavor enhancements.

  3. Stir well for about a minute to ensure no clumps form.

  4. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then stir again.

  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.

  6. Stir one final time before serving to break up any clumps. Top with your favorite fruits, nuts, or seeds.

Notes

Consistency: The ratio is a guideline. For a thicker pudding, use more chia seeds; for a thinner pudding, use more liquid.

Avoid Clumps: Stirring well at the beginning and once more after 5 minutes is crucial to prevent a lumpy texture.

Flavor Ideas: Get creative! Add cinnamon, fruit purees, nut butter, or cocoa powder when mixing.

Digestive Tip: If new to chia seeds, start with a smaller portion to allow your system to adjust to the high fiber content.
