Easy Chia Pudding Recipe for a Healthy Breakfast

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup chia seeds
• 2 cups almond milk (or any milk of choice)
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Fresh fruits (e.g., berries, banana) for topping
• Nuts or seeds for garnish (optional)
• Coconut flakes for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the chia seeds, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir well to ensure no clumps form.
2. Allow the mixture to sit for about 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent the seeds from settling at the bottom.
3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture to a mason jar, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
4. Once the pudding is thickened, give it a good stir before serving. Adjust sweetness if needed by adding more maple syrup.
5. Spoon the chia pudding into serving bowls or jars, and top with fresh fruits, nuts, and coconut flakes as desired.
6. Serve immediately, or store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
