Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1/2 small orange or grapefruit, segmented
Instructions
- In a jar or container, combine the chia seeds, milk, maple syrup (if using), vanilla extract, and salt.
- Stir well to ensure the chia seeds are fully submerged and do not clump at the bottom.
- Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until the mixture thickens to a pudding consistency.
- In the morning, stir the pudding again. If it is too thick, add a splash more milk.
- Top the chia pudding with your fresh berry mix and citrus segments just before serving.
Notes
- You can adjust the liquid ratio to achieve your desired thickness. More liquid makes it thinner.
- For a creamier texture, use full-fat coconut milk or dairy milk.
- Prep the citrus and berries the night before to save time in the morning.
