Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup chia seeds
- 2 cups milk (dairy or plant-based) Use your preferred type of milk.
- 1 cup yogurt (plain or flavored) Greek yogurt can provide a thicker texture.
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (optional) Adjust sweetness to taste.

- Nuts or seeds for topping (e.g., almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds) Adds crunch.
- Cinnamon or cocoa powder for sprinkling (optional) For enhancing flavor.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, combine chia seeds and milk. Stir well to ensure there are no clumps. Let it sit for about 10 minutes, then stir again to break up any clumps formed.
- After approximately 30 minutes, once the chia seeds have absorbed the liquid and formed a gel-like consistency, add the yogurt, maple syrup or honey (if using), and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness if needed.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Once chilled, stir the pudding mixture again. If you prefer a thinner consistency, you can add a splash of milk.
- Serve the chia seed pudding in individual bowls or jars, layering with fresh fruits and your choice of nuts or seeds on top.
