Chia Seed Pudding

I mostly enjoy chia seed pudding as a healthy snack because it keeps you full until your next meal and is also good for your health. In the heat, you can also try this for breakfast. In summer, I don’t want to eat something heavy, so I prefer chia seed pudding because it’s cool, creamy, and lightly sweet. One of the best things about it is that it’s super easy to make and very healthy. It’s so easy to make that you can prepare it for several days of the week.

Ingredients

• Light coconut milk or homemade almond milk
• Chia seeds
• Maple syrup
• Cinnamon
• Sea salt

Optional toppings:

• Tart cherries
• Blueberriesa
• Chopped nuts or granola
• Coconut flakes
• Maple syrup

How To Make Chia Seed Pudding

Step 1 : 

First, take a large Mason jar with a lid and add all the ingredients. Ensure the jar has a capacity of 3 to 4 cups.

Step 2 : 

In a jar with a 3 to 4 cup capacity, mix together the milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 3 : 

Then, fasten the lid tightly and shake the jar vigorously to thoroughly mix the ingredients.

Step 4 : 

 Place the jar in the fridge for a few hours to let the pudding set.

Step 5 : 

Stir well to break up any clumps. If the chia seeds remain clumped, they won’t absorb the liquid properly, resulting in a lumpy, crunchy pudding.

Step 6 : 

After stirring, cover the jar and return it to the refrigerator to chill overnight.

Step 7 : 

Top with your choice of fruit, nuts, coconut flakes, and a drizzle of maple syrup before serving.

Toppings

• Fresh fruit: Pile on berries and tart cherries. Use fresh fruit in the summer and thawed frozen ones during the rest of the year.
• Crunchy additions: Try coconut flakes, chopped nuts, or homemade granola.
• A touch of sweetness: Add an extra drizzle of maple syrup or honey.

The options are limitless when you start with a basic chia pudding recipe. For a quick and healthy breakfast, top it with fresh fruit and nuts. For a convenient snack, add shredded coconut and chocolate chips. For dessert, mix in a spoonful of nut butter or cocoa powder and add nuts and bananas. Feel free to make it as indulgent as you like!
