Ingredients
2 tablespoons chia seeds
1/2 cup of low-fat milk, or milk alternative
Other Ingredients
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
Instructions
Step 1:
Pour in chia seeds into a bowl and top with milk. Stir vigorously for about 30 seconds.
Step 2:
Let your mixture sit for at least an hour. Once the hour passes, check on the bowl. It should hold a similar consistency to pudding.
If it is too hard, add a little bit more milk and mix until it softens sufficiently. If it is too soft, add a bit more chia seeds, mix vigorously for another 30 seconds and let it sit in the fridge for at least 15 more minutes.
Step 3:
Once you achieve your desired consistency, you can now add in the vanilla extract and maple syrup if you plan to do so. Mix it in the bowl for another 30 seconds to a minute.
Step 4:
Top with your choice of fruit!
