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!
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.
