Ingredients
Scale
Basic Ingredients for Each Flavor
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or your favorite milk)
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tbsp maple syrup (or your favorite sweetener)
Flavor Variations
- Cinnamon Spice: 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon, tiny pinch cardamom, tiny pinch ground cloves, 2 tsp chopped raisins
- Matcha Coconut: 1 tsp green matcha powder, 2 tsp shredded coconut
- Berry Banana: 2 tbsp chopped banana, 2 tbsp chopped strawberries, dash of cinnamon
- Chocolate Cinnamon: 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder, dash of cinnamon
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add all the ingredients for your chosen flavor into a small jelly jar or wide-mouth mason jar, or any container with a secure lid. This ensures easy mixing and convenient storage.
- Mix and Refrigerate: Stir thoroughly to combine the ingredients well, then cover the jar and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight. The chia seeds will absorb the liquid and thicken the pudding over time. For the best texture, let it sit for at least 12 hours.
- Adjust and Serve: Once set and thickened, remove the pudding from the fridge and stir again. If the consistency is too thick, add a splash of almond milk to loosen it up. Taste and adjust sweetness or any flavorings as desired before serving.
Notes
- Experiment with different types of milk such as coconut, oat, or dairy based on preference.
- Sweeteners can be adjusted or substituted with honey, agave, or stevia.
- For a crunchier texture, add nuts or seeds as a topping before serving.
- Chia puddings can last up to 3-4 days refrigerated, but fresh fruit toppings are best added just before serving.
- To make vegan or allergy-friendly, ensure all your add-ins comply with dietary restrictions.
