Ingredients
  

  • 1 teaspoon pure maple syrup or honey
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup unsweetened almond milk or any preferred milk

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl or a mason jar, combine the almond milk, chia seeds, maple syrup or honey, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly to ensure the ingredients are well blended.
  2. Allow the mixture to rest for about 5 minutes, then stir it once more to break up any clusters of chia seeds that may have formed.
  3. Cover the bowl or jar with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for a minimum of 2 hours. For best results, let it chill overnight to achieve a thick and creamy consistency.
  4. Before serving, give the pudding another good stir to ensure uniform texture. Garnish with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruits, nuts, or a sprinkle of granola, and enjoy.
