Here’s a simple and versatile recipe for chia pudding—a healthy, creamy, and customizable breakfast or snack:
🍮 Basic Chia Pudding
🧾 Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based: almond, soy, oat, coconut)
- 1–2 teaspoons sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or agave)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
👩🍳 Instructions
- Mix ingredients
- In a jar or bowl, combine chia seeds, milk, sweetener, and vanilla.
- Stir well to avoid clumping.
- Let it thicken
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
- Stir once after 30 minutes to ensure seeds don’t stick together.
- Serve
- Add toppings: fresh fruit, nuts, granola, coconut flakes, or chocolate chips.
- Enjoy chilled as a snack or breakfast.
✨ Tips & Variations
- Chocolate chia pudding: Add 1–2 tablespoons cocoa powder to the mixture.
- Berry chia pudding: Blend ½ cup fresh or frozen berries with milk before mixing with chia seeds.
- Creamier texture: Use half milk and half yogurt or add 1–2 teaspoons nut butter.
- Portion prep: Make 3–4 jars at once for a quick grab-and-go breakfast.
If you want, I can make a 5-flavor chia pudding plan with different combinations for a whole week of breakfasts.
