– 1/4 cup chia seed – 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based) – 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness) – Mixed berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries) for topping – Additional honey or maple syrup for topping (optional)
Mix Chia Seeds and Milk: In a bowl or jar, combine the chia seeds, milk, vanilla extract, and sweetener (if using). Stir well to ensure that the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
Let it Sit: Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping. Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
During this time, the chia seeds will absorb the liquid and thicken to create a pudding-like consistency.
Prepare Toppings: Wash and slice your mixed berries if needed.
Assemble: Once the chia seed pudding has thickened to your liking, give it a final stir. Spoon the pudding into serving bowls or glasses. Top with the mixed berries.
Serve: Optionally, drizzle a little extra honey or maple syrup over the top for added sweetness.
Enjoy: Serve chilled and enjoy your delicious berry vanilla chia seed pudding!
