Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups Greek yogurt (2% fat recommended)
- 1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chia seeds
Instructions
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, almond milk, maple syrup or honey, and pure vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and fully blended.
- Add Chia Seeds: Stir in the chia seeds thoroughly into the yogurt mixture. Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes to hydrate the chia seeds, then whisk again to break up any clumps and ensure even distribution.
- Refrigerate: Pour the chia pudding mixture evenly into 4 small Mason jars or containers. Seal with lids and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours to allow the pudding to thicken and set properly.
- Serve: When ready to eat, stir the pudding gently and add your preferred toppings such as fresh fruits, nuts, or seeds. Enjoy the pudding cold or warm it briefly if desired.
Notes
- You can substitute almond milk with any milk of your choice such as cow’s milk, soy milk, or oat milk.
- Maple syrup or honey can be adjusted based on your sweetness preference or replaced with another sweetener like agave nectar.
- Make sure to whisk the pudding mixture again after 5 minutes to prevent clumping of chia seeds.
- The pudding can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Add toppings such as fresh berries, chopped nuts, coconut flakes, or granola for texture and extra flavor.
