Chia Pudding
Description
Chia Pudding is made by mixing chia seeds with milk, vanilla, and a sweetener such as maple syrup or honey. After whisking these ingredients together, the mixture is refrigerated for six hours or overnight. During this time, the chia seeds swell as they absorb the liquid, resulting in a thick and creamy pudding with a soft, spoonable texture. Toppings like fresh fruit, nuts, and granola can be added to tailor the pudding to individual tastes and add contrasting textures.
The flavor is mildly sweet with a subtle vanilla note, making it a neutral base for various toppings. The pudding can be served on its own or used as a breakfast, snack, or dessert. It offers a nourishing way to incorporate chia seeds into the diet.
This pudding can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to five days, making it an easy make-ahead option. Adjusting the milk type or seed ratios affects the consistency, so measure carefully and allow sufficient soaking time for best results.
