Chia Pudding Recipe

Chia pudding is a nutritious and delicious treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, dessert, or as a healthy snack. Made with chia seeds and your choice of liquid, it's easy to customize with your favorite flavors and toppings. Here's a simple recipe to make chia pudding at home: Ingredients: - 1/4 cup chia seeds - 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy, such as almond milk, coconut milk, or soy milk) - 1 tablespoon sweetener of your choice (such as honey, maple syrup, agave nectar, or sugar) - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract - Pinch of salt - Optional toppings: fresh fruit, berries, nuts, seeds, granola, shredded coconut, nut butter, chocolate chips, or dried fruit Instructions: 1. In a mixing bowl or jar, combine the chia seeds, milk, sweetener, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine all the ingredients. 2. Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate the chia seed mixture for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding-like consistency. Stir the mixture a few times during the first hour to prevent clumping. 3. After refrigerating, give the chia pudding a good stir to break up any clumps and distribute the seeds evenly. 4. Taste the chia pudding and adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more sweetener if desired.
