A creamy, nutritious, and versatile recipe that works as breakfast, a healthy snack, or even dessert!
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons chia seeds
1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based: almond, coconut, oat, soy, etc.)
Sweetener to taste (optional: 1–2 teaspoons honey, maple syrup, agave, or sugar)
Optional toppings: fresh fruits (berries, banana slices, mango), nuts, seeds, shredded coconut, cinnamon, or a drop of vanilla essence
Instructions:
- Combine Ingredients
In a jar, bowl, or glass, add the chia seeds and pour in the milk.
Stir well to fully coat the seeds.
- Sweeten (Optional)
Add honey, maple syrup, or your preferred sweetener. Stir again.
- Rest & Stir Again
Let the mixture sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes.
Stir once more to prevent the seeds from clumping together.
- Refrigerate
Cover the jar/bowl and place in the refrigerator for at least 2–3 hours, or overnight for best results.
The chia seeds will swell and create a thick, pudding-like consistency.
- Serve & Enjoy
Stir before eating.
Top with fruits, nuts, or a drizzle of extra sweetener if you like.
Tips:
For extra creaminess, use coconut milk or add a spoon of yogurt before refrigerating.
You can prepare several jars at once and keep them in the fridge for up to 4–5 days—perfect for meal prep!
✨ Result: A refreshing, nutrient-rich pudding high in fiber, protein, and omega-3s.
