Ingredients

½ Cup Dairy-Free Milk
1 teaspoon Maple Syrup
2 tablespoon Chia Seeds

Instructions

Pour chia seeds into airtight jar.
Add maple syrup and milk.
Stir well to incorporate and let sit on the counter for five minutes.
Stir again and place in the fridge with lid for at least four-hours and up to seven days.
When ready to eat, enjoy as is or top with granola, nuts and berries. If consistency runs thin when ready to eat, add 1TSP - 1TBSP more of chia seeds and stir together. If consistency runs thick per your liking, add a little more milk.

Notes

NOTE OF CONSISTENCY: if you're not a fan of the crunch of the chia seeds, you can always blend the chia seed pudding for a creamier bite. If you find your chia seed pudding to be more runny after cooling overnight, add a few more chia seeds and stir.

CHIA SEEDS. An absolute must for a chia seed pudding. You can find chia seeds in any grocery store. Find them near the nuts and seeds.

DAIRY FREE MILK. I always have oat milk in my pantry. For a creamier chia pudding, try coconut milk. If you’re not dairy free, use any dairy milk you like.

SWEETENER. I use a small amount of sweetener. To make this chia pudding vegan, I use maple syrup. If you’re not vegan, honey is the perfect addition as well. For unsweetened chia pudding, omit.

STORAGE. I like to use small Weck jars with clamps, they're the perfect size! I find them here.
