Ingredients
Scale
Chia Pudding Base
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 cup milk of choice (such as almond, oat, or dairy milk)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1½ teaspoons honey (or more to taste)
- Pinch of sea salt (optional)
Toppings
- ½ cup fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or a mix)
- Extra honey for drizzling
- Additional fresh berries for garnish
Instructions
- Combine the Base: In a medium bowl or jar, stir together the chia seeds, milk, vanilla extract, honey, and sea salt until well combined. Mix thoroughly to prevent the seeds from clumping.
- Let It Rest: Allow the mixture to sit for 5 to 10 minutes, then stir again to redistribute the seeds evenly and break up any clusters forming.
- Chill Overnight: Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until the mixture thickens and develops a pudding-like consistency.
- Add the Toppings: When ready to serve, stir the pudding once more. Spoon into a bowl or glass, and top with fresh berries and an extra drizzle of honey to taste.
Notes
- Using different types of milk can alter the flavor and texture; almond and oat milk are great dairy-free alternatives.
- Adjust the amount of honey according to your sweetness preference or substitute with maple syrup for a vegan version.
- For added texture, consider mixing in nuts or seeds along with the berries as toppings.
- If you’re short on time, chilling the pudding for at least 4 hours works, but overnight refrigeration yields the best consistency.
