Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pour 1.5 cups almond milk into a mason jar or small container with a tight lid.

  2. Step 2

    Add 0.5 cup chia seeds, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, and 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract to the milk.

  3. Step 3

    Screw the lid onto the jar tightly, then shake vigorously for 30 seconds until the chia seeds are evenly distributed and no clumps remain.

  4. Step 4

    Place the jar in the refrigerator and leave it undisturbed for at least 8 hours or overnight, until the mixture thickens to a spoonable pudding texture.

  5. Step 5

    Remove the jar from the refrigerator and give it a quick stir or shake to loosen it, then spoon into a bowl.

  6. Step 6

    Top with 0.75 cup fresh berries or sliced banana, then eat immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 5 days.
