Ingredients

  • ½ cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon pure maple syrup

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine the milk, chia seeds, and maple syrup in a bowl, cup, or reusable storage container. Stir well.
  2. Let sit on the counter for 5-10 minutes. Stir again to make sure all the clumps are broken up. Cover and put in the fridge for at least 3 hours, or overnight.
  3. Once the seeds have softened and a gel-like substance has formed around each seed, your pudding is ready! Serve with fruit, nuts, or any other desired toppings.

Notes

  • Typically, the ratio of ingredients is 2 tablespoons chia seeds and 1 teaspoon sweetener for every 1/2 cup liquid. If you want a thicker pudding, add more chia seeds. If you want a thinner pudding, add more liquid. You can also adjust the amount of sweetener to your taste.
