    Chia Seed Pudding is a creamy, nutritious dish made by soaking chia seeds in milk (dairy or plant-based) until they swell into a pudding-like texture. Naturally rich in fiber, omega-3s, and protein, it’s lightly sweetened and often topped with fruits, nuts, or granola. Whether enjoyed as a wholesome breakfast, a post-workout snack, or a light dessert, it’s delicious, customizable, and incredibly easy to prepare.

    Ingredients

    • 2 tablespoons chia seeds

    • 1/2 cup milk of choice (dairy or plant-based)

    • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

    • 1 –2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey

    • Toppings: berries, nuts, coconut, cocoa nibs, etc.

    Directions

    • In a small jar or bowl, mix chia seeds, milk, vanilla, and sweetener.
    • Stir well and let sit for 5 minutes. Stir again to prevent clumping.
