Kefir Chia Pudding
Description
Kefir Chia Pudding combines the nutty texture of chia seeds with the tartness of kefir, sweetened mildly with maple syrup and enhanced by vanilla extract. The preparation involves mixing all ingredients and chilling the mixture for at least two to three hours, or overnight, allowing the seeds to swell and the pudding to set firmly. The pudding has a consistency that is both creamy and slightly gelatinous from the hydrated chia seeds.
Its flavor profile balances the fermented tang of kefir with gentle sweetness and aromatic vanilla. This dish can be served plain or topped with fruits, nuts, or yogurt to add varying textures and flavors. Its make-ahead nature makes it convenient for meal prepping.
Ingredients
- ¾ cups chia seeds
- 2½ tablespoons maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 cups Kefir
Instructions
- Add the chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and kefir to a bowl.

- Let the chia pudding set in the fridge for at least two to three hours or overnight.
- Stir it before serving, and add in your favorite toppings, such as yogurt, fruit, nuts, and/or seeds.
