Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons Chia seeds These tiny superfoods are the star of the show, providing fiber, protein, and omega-3s.
  • 1 cup Milk of choice Use almond milk, coconut milk, oat milk, or any dairy-free option for a creamy texture.
  • 1–2 tablespoons Sweetener Choose maple syrup, honey, agave nectar, or a low-carb alternative like stevia.

Optional Flavor Boosters

  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract Adds a warm, sweet aroma and flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon Cocoa powder For a rich chocolatey twist.
  • Fresh fruit: Blend in or top with berries mango, or banana for natural sweetness.

Toppings

  • Granola or nuts: Add crunch and texture.
  • Shredded coconut: For a tropical vibe.
  • Chopped dark chocolate: A little indulgence never hurts!

Instructions
 

Step 1: Combine the Ingredients

  • In a blender, add the chia seeds, your milk of choice, and sweetener.
  • If you're adding vanilla extract, cocoa powder, or fresh fruit for flavor, toss those in as well.

Step 2: Blend Until Smooth

  • Blend the mixture on high for about 30–60 seconds, or until it reaches a silky, smooth consistency.
  • Pause halfway to scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure all the chia seeds are evenly blended.

Step 3: Adjust the Texture

  • If the pudding is too thick, add a splash of milk and blend again until it reaches your desired consistency.
  • Prefer a thicker pudding? Add a few extra chia seeds, blend briefly, and let it sit for a few minutes to thicken.

Step 4: Chill and Set

  • Pour the blended pudding into individual jars or a bowl.
  • Refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours, or overnight, to allow it to fully set and develop its creamy texture.

Step 5: Add Toppings and Serve

  • Just before serving, add your favorite toppings like fresh berries, granola, or shredded coconut for an extra burst of flavor and texture.

Pro Tip

  • If you’re meal-prepping, portion the pudding into jars right after blending. This makes it grab-and-go friendly for busy mornings or quick snacks.
