Ingredients

Scale

Chia Seed Pudding Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk (or milk alternative, 2% preferred)
  • ¼ cup chia seeds (measured level)
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup (or preferred sweetener)
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • Dash of sea salt (1/8 tsp or less, optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add the milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt into a jar with a well-fitted lid (at least 16-ounce capacity).
  2. Shake Well: Seal the jar tightly and shake vigorously for about 1 minute to evenly suspend the chia seeds in the liquid, preventing clumps from forming.
  3. Chill and Set: Place the sealed jar in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight. For best results, shake the jar every 20 minutes during the first hour to keep the seeds evenly distributed and avoid clumping at the top.
  4. Serve: Once the pudding has set and thickened, serve it as is or topped with fresh fruit, shaved chocolate, coconut flakes, or any favorite toppings. Additional sweetener can be added if desired.

Notes

  • Shaking the jar periodically during the first hour is critical to keep the chia seeds evenly distributed and prevent clumping.
  • Use a 16-ounce or larger jar to give the pudding room to expand as it thickens.
  • You can substitute the milk with any plant-based milk to make this recipe vegan or dairy-free.
  • Adjust the sweetener quantity to taste or use alternatives like honey, agave syrup, or stevia.
  • Chia pudding can be prepared the night before for a grab-and-go breakfast.
