Vegan Chia Pudding Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup or agave (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Pinch of salt
Optional Toppings:
- Fresh fruit (berries, banana slices, mango, etc.)
- Granola
- Nuts and seeds (almonds, walnuts, coconut flakes)
- Nut butter (almond, peanut, or cashew butter)
- Cinnamon or cacao powder
Instructions:
- Combine Ingredients:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chia seeds, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to prevent clumping.
- Mix Thoroughly:
- Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes, then stir again to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
- Refrigerate:
- Cover the bowl or transfer the mixture to a jar with a lid. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight. The chia seeds will absorb the liquid and create a thick, pudding-like consistency.
- Serve:
- Once the chia pudding is ready, give it a good stir. Serve in bowls or jars and top with your choice of fresh fruit, granola, nuts, or any other toppings you like.
Tips:
- Adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more or less maple syrup.
- You can flavor the pudding with cocoa powder or matcha for a different twist.
- Chia pudding can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days, making it a great meal prep option.
Enjoy your delicious and nutritious vegan chia pudding!
