Secondary Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Finishing Ingredients:
- 1 pinch of salt
Instructions
- Combine chia seeds, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt in a mixing bowl, whisking thoroughly to eliminate potential lumps.
- Allow the mixture to rest for 5 minutes, then whisk again to ensure smooth consistency.
- Refrigerate the mixture for minimum 2 hours or overnight, enabling the seeds to absorb liquid and create a creamy texture.

Notes
- Swap almond milk with any plant-based or dairy milk to customize the pudding’s flavor and suit different dietary needs.
- Use honey or agave syrup instead of maple syrup for alternative sweetening options.
- Experiment with different berries like raspberries or strawberries to create variety in the pudding’s taste profile.
- For a protein boost, mix in a scoop of your favorite protein powder during the initial whisking stage.
