Vegan Chia Seed Pudding

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1 cup plant-based milk (almond, coconut, soy, etc.)
  • 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup or agave nectar (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional toppings: fresh fruit, nuts, shredded coconut, or granola

Instructions:

  1. In a bowl, combine chia seeds, plant-based milk, maple syrup (or agave nectar), and vanilla extract. Whisk the ingredients together until well combined.
  2. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes, then whisk again to prevent clumping. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight. The chia seeds will absorb the liquid and create a pudding-like consistency.
  3. After refrigeration, give the pudding a good stir to break up any clumps. If the pudding is too thick, you can add a bit more plant-based milk until it reaches your desired consistency.
  4. Taste the pudding and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more maple syrup or agave nectar.
  5. Serve the chia seed pudding in individual bowls or jars. Top with your favorite fruits, nuts, shredded coconut, or granola.
  6. Enjoy your delicious and nutritious vegan chia seed pudding!
