Ingredients

Scale

Chia Pudding Base

  • 1/2 cup chia seeds
  • 2 cups almond milk (or milk of your choice)
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • Zest from 1 lemon
  • 2–3 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey, to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Creaminess

  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt or coconut cream (optional for extra creaminess)

Instructions

  1. Mix Liquid Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together almond milk, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  2. Add Chia Seeds: Stir in the chia seeds thoroughly, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the liquid to avoid clumps.
  3. Thicken: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and form a thick, pudding-like consistency.
  4. Stir Again: After refrigeration, give the pudding a good stir to break up any clumps and ensure smooth texture.
  5. Add Creaminess: Mix in Greek yogurt or coconut cream if you desire a richer, creamier texture before serving.

Notes

  • For a vegan option, use maple syrup and coconut cream instead of honey and Greek yogurt.
  • You can adjust the sweetness to taste by adding more or less maple syrup or honey.
  • Use fresh lemon juice and zest for the best vibrant flavor.
  • Store the pudding covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Serve chilled and garnish with fresh fruit or nuts if desired.
