Ingredients

Chia Pudding Base

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk
  • ¼ cup chia seeds
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch of cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, almond milk, chia seeds, honey, vanilla extract, salt, and cinnamon (if using) until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  2. Initial Setting: Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes to allow the chia seeds to start absorbing liquid. Then, stir the mixture again to prevent clumps and ensure even consistency.
  3. Refrigerate: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to let the pudding thicken and set properly.
  4. Serve: After chilling, divide the pudding evenly between two bowls or jars. Top with your choice of fresh berries, chopped nuts, nut butter, or dark chocolate chips before serving. Enjoy this refreshing and healthy treat!

Notes

  • For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
  • Use any milk alternative if almond milk is not preferred.
  • The pudding can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Adjust sweetness to taste by adding more or less honey.
  • Optional toppings like fresh fruit or nuts add texture and extra nutrients.
