Chia Seed Pudding
Description
The recipe calls for soaking chia seeds in milk (which can be plant-based or dairy) mixed with a sweetener like honey and vanilla extract. After mixing, the pudding is refrigerated for a minimum of two hours during which the seeds absorb liquid and thicken the mixture to a creamy, gel-like consistency. Stirring or shaking halfway through prevents clumping and ensures even hydration of seeds.
The pudding provides a mild, subtly sweet flavor and smooth texture with the slight crunch of softened chia seeds. It is suitable as a breakfast or snack and can be customized by adding toppings like fruit, nuts, or spices.
Preparing one serving or multiple servings is equally easy by adjusting ingredient quantities. Storing in mason jars allows convenient single portions and easy transport. The pudding can be stored refrigerated up to five days, making it a practical option for meal prepping.
Ingredients
Ingredients for 4 Servings of Chia Pudding:
- 2 cups milk almond, oat, rice, soy or cow’s milk, of choice
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup or agave
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chia seeds
Ingredients for 1 Serving of Chia Pudding:
- 1/2 cup milk of choice
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup or agave
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
Instructions
- Place the chia seeds and milk in medium bowl and stir to combine. Alternatively you can add the ingredients to 1 large mason jar or divide evenly between 4 smaller mason jars with lids and shake to combine. For best results stir or shake covered jars after 5 minutes to prevent seeds from clumping.
- Add the honey and vanilla and stir or shake again.
- Refrigerate 2 hours, stirring or shaking the jar once halfway through.
- Add toppings of choice and serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- Refrigerate the pudding in an airtight container or mason jar for up to five days, stirring before each serving for even texture.
- Adjust thickness by adding more milk to loosen or letting it chill longer to thicken.
- Making single servings in a mason jar is convenient and allows easy transport and portion control.
